Cut Rosemont College Women's Basketball Jersey

Description

2009 basketball game against Neumann University, if I recall correctly. The game was BRUTAL. The referees were allowing the other team to play dirty. The Neumann players were savagely attacking the Rosemont players. My
teammates were getting knocked around like pinballs. My teammate
Jess got elbowed in the face so hard that her tooth came right
through her lip. She was bleeding so much that the athletic trainer
was having trouble treating her. Jess ended up going to the hospital
for stitches. At the same moment, the athletic trainer was treating
Jess, they heard a loud boom coming from the court. Everyone saw
my head smashing into the floor as my body got flipped 180°. My legs
were straight up. I was in mid-air rebounding a shot when a player took my legs out with a body check. Finally, the referees stopped the game because I
could not get up. They had to call an ambulance to rush me to the ER
for spinal X-rays to make sure my neck wasn't broken. While in the
ambulance, they cut EVERYTHING off of me (hence the cut jersey),
including my sneakers. I still have the neck brace they put on me
before putting me onto the stretcher for transport.
