GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 22 • 21 "Of course, there's concern, me getting hit again," she said. "But I try not to (think about it). Coach just said to be extra funda- mental this game, don't try to do anything out of the norm. That's what I tried to do, but obviously it didn't work that well, because we lost and I didn't take care of the ball that well." Yet the Boilermakers need Wil- son. Without her in the lineup, their offensive flow suffers, and a team that isn't the best at scoring loses one of its more efficient players. But Versyp says Purdue will monitor Wilson as closely in the last couple weeks of the season. She has to take computer and ex- ercise concussion protocol exams frequently, in an effort to make sure she's OK. "We just have to be smart, because her health comes first," Versyp said. PERRY FIGHTING THROUGH Now that she's through the ankle injury, Bridget Perry has found herself having other problems. Perhaps due to her condi- tioning falling off during her month-long absence, the sophomore is suffering from a tight hamstring and a sore Achilles. It limited her to only three first-half minutes against Illinois Saturday, then 10 in the second half. " W e ' r e banged up, but you've got to just play through it or don't play," Ver - syp said. "It's got to be a mindset. But the health of the players is first and foremost. So if they want to do it, they can go." Purdue will likely limit Perry's practice time, trying to use her only during games over the last two weeks. The Boilermakers were also without Justine Hall for the Illini game, after the freshman had a migraine during shoot-around in the morning. "Hopefully, she should be good to go," Versyp said. "I think she's had them in the past, but not since she's been here. Her symp - toms were so severe that (she had to sit)." j #1 Maryland #4 Rutgers #2 Iowa #3 Ohio State 7 p.m. BTN Sears Centre Arena Hoffman Estates, Ill.
