Head Coach Jay Louderback on Berica Day . . .
[quote]Berica was great in practice, getting so many balls back. She drove people crazy when they had to work against her. Her problem was that she was hurt a lot. She would get going and start playing pretty well and then she[apos]d get hurt and get knocked back. She fought injuries the whole time.[quote]
