Few things seem to bother Lauren Houg.
She rolls up the sleeve of her sweatshirt to show floor burns she has acquired over the season. There are several scattered across her forearm and elbow. To most they would seem annoying.
“I get new jerseys every year because of the wear and tear to them gets pretty rough,” Houg said. “The worst I get is floor burns, nothing too crazy. No big bruises on my hips anymore. That would happen when I was younger because I would just fall and flop, but on defense you are supposed to play the ball first and then dive.
