NORMAN — Nicole Mendes is still recovering from the ACL tear she suffered in the fall.
Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso said Mendes got a brace earlier in the week and is moving better.
As for a timeline for the senior outfielder’s return, Gasso hopes to have her back some time in March, which would be just in time for conference play.
“We're anticipating looking at her maybe mid to late March,” Gasso said. “How much she's going to be impactful at that time I'm not quite sure.”
While Mendes is sidelined recovering, she will still have an impact for the team.
