Shewan staying in the moment with Illini

CHAMPAIGN — Sarah Shewan sprung from the court at the Robins Center in Richmond, Va., going in for a layup.

It's a move she had performed countless times in her basketball career.

This time, though, on Dec. 1, 2017 while playing for Quinnipiac, something didn't feel right in her left knee immediately after the ball dropped through the net to give the Bobcats a late lead in what would become an eventual 81-65 win against Richmond on Dec. 1, 2017.

Shewan checked out of the game with less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter and never returned.
