MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – An injury to the Conference USA Preseason Player of the Year, playing one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country, injuries to a sophomore and freshman who both were expected to be significant contributors and offensive inconsistencies – needless to say, this season has presented plenty of challenges and frustrations for the Middle Tennessee Lady Raiders.
Despite all of the irritations and the negatives, this season has also presented Blue Raider fans an opportunity to see one of their local favorites blossom into a complete leader on and off the court.
Abbey Sissom has, almost out of necessity, taken her game to another level this season.
