As the starting lineups were announced prior to Thursday night’s Mountain West women’s soccer tournament semi-final match between San Diego State (15-4, 10-1 MW) and Colorado College (9-12-1, many fans were shocked when SDSU freshman forward Leah Pruitt’s name went unsaid.
In fact, Pruitt, who was named to the MW first team, led the team in points and goals, and earned freshman of the year honors, was not even suited up.
Apparently, a lingering knee injury, will unfortunately keep Pruitt sidelined for the remainder of the season.
“She’s got some knee issues going on that we don’t want to make any worse, and we’re not going to risk her for the sake of another game,” SDSU Head Coach Mike Friesen said.
