NORMAN — Oklahoma outfielder Jocelyn Alo, struggling to meet the expectations brought by a 30 home run campaign in her freshman season, didn't travel with the team last weekend for its series at Kansas.
Coach Patty Gasso recommended that Alo not make the trip, hoping the days off would give her slugger a chance to reset.
"She's been a little bit unhappy or just frustrated with herself," Gasso said. "I've been in places where athletes have gone to that area where they just need a break. She didn't do anything wrong. There's no punishment, nothing like that.
