By Sarah Leggett, Duke Sports Information

DURHAM, N.C.-- Merriam-Webster defines perseverance as "continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure or opposition."

Often times, difficult situations can lead to a negative outlook, but for Duke women's basketball guard Haley Gorecki, that couldn't be more untrue.

"I know everything happens for a reason," she says, "and I wouldn't be in this same situation if I wasn't injured."

Gorecki has been through the ringer with injuries after injuries … after injuries.
