Basketball slipped away from UAB senior Bianca Dufelmeier as quickly and painfully as her right shoulder used to slip out of socket.
It came on Valentine's Day last year. The Canberra, Australia native jokes now that she "got a lot of chocolate anyway" but, at the time, it was no laughing matter. She reached for a loose ball in a win over Rice at Bartow Arena and felt her shoulder pop out. While that had become a common occurrence, with three dislocations and countless subluxations, which is a partial dislocation, last season alone, this one was different. This time it would not pop back in.
