GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 18 • 21 Kelly Komara, now a Purdue assistant coach. "It was a situation where nobody knew how to stop her. They knew she was left-handed, they knew she was going left, but they could not stop her. It was the end of a tied game, we knew she was going to take it left, every- body in the gym knew she would take it left and nobody could stop her. "(She was) a fierce competitor. Nobody is more deserving of it than Katie Douglas." PERRY UPDATE Bridget Perry is likely out at least anoth- er week, perhaps two. The sophomore wing was injured vs. Maryland Jan. 8, a high ankle sprain that needs a 4-to-6 week recovery period. That could have her ready for the Feb. 2 game at Indiana, if she hits the early part of the window. "She's pro - gressing very well, but the last piece is the hardest," Coach Sharon Versyp said last week. "That's what takes the lon- gest, the jumping ability, the zig zag, the moving, cutting." Perry is averaging 9.3 points and four re- bounds per game. BOILERMAKERS HONOR HILL The Boilermakers hon- ored Lauren Hill, the termi- nally ill basketball player for Mount Saint Joseph Univer- sity, on Sunday. At a timeout during the loss to Ohio State, a Purdue jersey with Hill's No. 22 and the phrase "Never Give Up," was donated to back Purdue after it had been auctioned off for charity. Hill, a Lawrenceburg, Ind., native who has brain cancer, played in November for her collegiate team, despite hav- ing only months to live. She's continuing her fight now, while raising money — over $1 million now — to support pediatric cancer research. To learn more, visit La- yup4Lauren.org or TheCure- StartsNow.org.
