091' 0-0 UCLA hoofs to Sieloff, who blasts it upfield. 092' 0-0 Sieloff clears another long ball. 092' 0-0 Ohai has it momentarily at box top left. UCLA steals, longballs for #14 Smith sprinting up wide right. Clipped from behind, she barrel-rolls down. No call? 093' 0-0 Midfield struggle resumes. #22 Mewis catches Nielsen(?) in possession, steals ball going to 30m right touch. Flicks into space past her, gets flattened into touch. Smith runs into right corner, crosses very hard at 2m. Off a UNC defender's head and over endline. UNC crouches, seeing stars and little baby bears.
094' 0-0 UCLA right corner, cleared. Mewis shoots, wide right. 095' 0-0 UCLA fouls at midfield circle left. Quick restart to Ohai at 24m box left. She chips over the backline toward 6-right foot -- way too far for #10 Joanna Boyles running that lane. Maybe that was actually a shot try?
098' 0-0 Rowland comes way out past her box right to clear a ball. It bounces way down into UNC's box, they shield 2-v-1 as Sieloff steps up to 6-top (her) left post and gathers. 098' 0-0 Long pass creates a tricky 1-v-1, UNC clears toward the corner flag but it drifts over. 099' 0-0 UCLA right corner, to 14m 6-left. Two UCLA players leap and head toward goal, cleared half-way. 100' 0-0 UNC past circle top. Stoppage, UNC player down at circle tangent top right. Trainers come out. UCLA drifts back to their bench. UNC huddle at field centroid, even #18 Sieloff is way up there. +2' and the trainers still have not straightened up.
Serious stoppage. GameTracker shows a UNC sub: 99'11" Maggie Bill for Katie Bowen. UCLA have all put on calf-length ponchos to stay warm. UNC are off the picture. Trainers still haven't moved enough to see the player. More people walking out. Motorized cart rolls onto the field. Medevac
Well, by now they must be immobilizing her to the backboard, possibly with neck brace, etc. I haven't heard the pbp guy in a while. What did he say (if anything)? I think the video feed quit at the regularly scheduled end time of a non-OT game. I refreshed it, but it's been silent ever since.
That looks like a neck injury, they have it stabilized and they were checking her lower legs for feeling. Looks serious.
It doesn't look like muscle/bone injury - she would've been taken off the field sooner. Concussion or some serious internal issue probably...
This looks very serious. When they don't move you for a long period of time, it may involve the neck or spine.
Unfortunately, that's what it looks like at this point. Hopefully this is just precautionary and she'll end up being alright.
I don't know who it is, unless it's Katie Bowen and the sub was for her. The GoHeels TV feed is silent? About 7 people still kneeling around her, blocking any view. Cop standing next to the cart.
If it is Katie Bowen, her parents were here from New Zealand earlier this week. I'm not sure if they're still there.
The cart rolls away leftward, revealing her legs on the board, covered with sweatpants. The cop turns and waves to the cart: come back? He exeunts leftward. UCLA still standing around their bench. UNC have donned jackets, standing at circle back. Still 3-4 people kneeling around Bowen. UNC break a huddle and start jogging back and forth. A real stretcher rolls on-field from the left, and the cop returns with it. Large crowd around her now, about 20 staff. In 5 seconds they lift the board, and her with it, onto the stretcher. Covering her with something warm.
