Athletes are trained to have short-term memories.
No one displayed that better this week than the University of Toledo’s Khera Goss.
Last Saturday wasn’t the high point of her career. The fourth-year guard was the primary defender trying to interrupt Chellia Watson’s season-long torrid pace. It didn’t work.
The Buffalo guard — the nation’s fifth-leading scorer — had 47 points, the most in Savage Arena history. But who hit the game-winning shot? Goss.

And, instead of allowing Watson’s historic performance to strip away her confidence, Goss practiced hard on Monday and Tuesday, helped limit Akron to 41 percent shooting in a lopsided win on Wednesday, and then topped it off by pestering Bowling Green’s Amy Velasco and Paige Kohler on Saturday.
