For the last week I have been hearing all sorts of rumors surrounding Yarimar Rosa's health and status for the balance of the year. Many have thought that her Seniors year was over. The expression on Yarimar Rosa’s face when she clutched her hand after the play said it all. The festive and spirited crowd at the U.S. Century Bank Arena held their collective breath and became silent as she was helped to the locker room by a trainer.
Initially, there were fears of a possible fracture but Coach Danijela Tomic confirmed that Rosa’s injury was a dislocated pinkie.
She will see a hand specialist, but Tomic is optimistic that her return may be sooner than originally anticipated, possibly within the next week or two.
“We think that she might be ready to play next weekend,” Tomic said. “It depends how her stitches heal but it’s her non-hitting hand, which is good. It’s just a matter of how her body heals.”
TALENTED TEAM: The team has continued to play extremely well with-out Yari, recently winning the Raddison Invitational in Orlando defeating Florida A & M. Giving Southern Miss it's second lost of the year and defeating and up and coming UCF team.
The hopeful return of a healthy Rosa together with an already talented team makes FIU a strong favorite to repeat as Sun Belt Champion and do go deeper into the NCAA Tournament than ever before.
