Wichita State is banged up.
Even though they beat East Carolina on Friday, the Shockers took some losses. Senior Kali Eaken suffered a knee injury in the first set against the Pirates. She didn’t play Sunday, and had a brace on her knee. Megan Taflinger, who has become a key rotation player for the Shockers, didn’t play Sunday after straining an abdominal muscle in Friday’s game. Taflinger is listed as “day-to-day.”
WSU’s depleted rotation lost on Sunday to the American Athletic Conference’s No. 1 team, Cincinnati.
Cincinnati entered with the nation’s No. 1 hitter, Jordan Thompson.
