The already shorthanded UConn Huskies women's basketball team just saw their bench shrink a little more.
Here's the release:
STORRS, Conn. – Junior forward Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis will be forced out of action for the next 3-6 weeks after being diagnosed with mononucleosis. The Anaheim Hills, Calif. native is averaging 12.2 points, and 4.6 rebounds per contest while shooting a team-best 42.1 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.
Earlier this season, Mosqueda-Lewis was forced to miss eight games after suffering a nerve contusion in her right elbow late in the first half of UConn’s 76-57 victory over No. 3 Stanford on November 11. She had played in the top-ranked Huskies’ last 15 contests following her return from that injury.
The 2012-13 State Farm/WBCA All-American, was rounding into form of late, averaging 15.5 points and shooting 43.5 percent from the floor in her last six games.
