Northwestern senior center Alex Olah is out indefinitely with a foot injury, the program announced Sunday. Olah will miss the Wildcats' final non-conference game against Loyola (Md.) Sunday night.
With Olah out, freshman center Dererk Pardon will play. Chris Collins had made the decision to redshirt Pardon in his first year on campus, but it appears Northwestern will burn his redshirt.
The good news for Northwestern is that Joey van Zegeren, who had missed four games with a foot injury of his own, will return to the lineup Sunday against Loyola (Md.).
Northwestern opens conference play against Nebraska on Wednesday.
