are what makes Purdue women's basketball and
Purdue athletics special. You're part of the family,
part of the culture, part of the reason we've been
able to make this program so successful."
The ceremony was part of Purdue's
alumni weekend, with former members of
the Boilermakers playing in a game, then be-
ing recognized at halftime. White got the big-
gest cheer, as did recent former
graduates like Courtney Moses
and Chantel Poston.
WILSON BACK IN
LINEUP
April Wilson remembers
the hit and the headache, particularly the latter.
Early in the first half against Northwestern
on Feb. 11, the point guard knocked heads
with fellow point guard Ashley Deary. It left
Wilson out the rest of the second half and
overtime, of a loss, then sidelined her for the
next two games.
"As soon as I got hit, it was an instant head-
ache," Wilson said Monday afternoon. "I had
one earlier in the season, so I'm more suscep-
tible to getting them. But it is what it is."
The junior returned against Illinois, after
having only an individual workout the day be-
fore, ending a lengthy 10-day absence that fre-
quently had her seeking dark, quiet places to
calm the symptoms. She played a team-high
38 minutes against the Fighting Illini, and fin-
ished with six points and three assists, but five
turnovers.
Wilson says she tried to play as loose as
possible, but knows there's concern about her
health, as well.
Tom Campbell
April Wilson missed two-and-a-half games with a concussion, her second of the
season, but was back for Saturday's contest vs. Illinois.
