Sad news....

You have to wonder if the coaches will try and incorporate knee strength training into off season workouts... I mean I know females are more susceptible to such injuries, and freak accidents do occur, but as hrzag said... 6 in 3 years...

I think the next home game the fans seriously need to show Rachael some love, she definitely deserves it after dedicating so much blood, sweat and tears to the program...

I'm shocked! I wanted to see Rachael and Megan for the first time @Penn State. Pilots fans out in the PA area don't get the opportunity to see them live in person often.

My daughter and I have watched Rapinoes go down twice with ACL injuries, and it's such a tough thing to see. It just sucks the air out of one's lungs and casts a pall over the game. That's the involved fan's reaction. What it feels like for the player is beyond words and presumptuous for me to guess at.

A young girl at the USC game had a great cheer: as the game wore on, she was shouting, "Score a goal for Rachael!" If the Pilots need a rallying cry, there it is.
