Trajata Colbert played in 15 games last season. The injuries that sidelined her for much of her sophomore season did not stop her from paying attention and improving.
"Coming back from an injury, you know what to do and what not to do," she said.
As a junior, Colbert is showing she made good use of that time. In four games, averaging 16 minutes of playing time, she averages 10.3 points and 4.3 rebounds while shooting 62.1 percent from the field. She scored a career-high 21 points in Sunday's double-overtime loss to Northern Iowa.
"The last two games she's really been a force," Wichita State coach Keitha Adams said.
