React, Recover, Repeat: Mia Gyau’s Incredible Strength and Resilience

By Charlotte Tannenbaum, Communications Student Assistant

DURHAM, N.C.-- Mia Gyau's time playing for the Blue Devils has been nothing short of unique. After managing to avoid major injury for the entirety of her successful club career, she faced every athlete's worst nightmare when she finally reached her dream school and tore her ACL and MCL. And then again when she tore her right achilles the following season. And then again when she tore her left achilles a year later. When many would have given up, Gyau got back up each time she was knocked down.
