Gophers forward Taylor Woodson suffers season-ending injury

On Monday, Gophers coach Dawn Plitzuweit announced that Minnesota forward Taylor Woodson suffered a season-ending knee injury in last Friday's 99-36 win over Manhattan at Williams Arena.
Having returned from a knee injury last season, Woodson, a junior from Hopkins, suffered a season-ending injury last Friday, robbing her of her junior campaign.
In early games this season she totaled 22 combined minutes, averaged one point and two rebounds, and played seven minutes with two rebounds in the Manhattan game before injury.
The injury removes size off the bench, as Woodson is the second player lost this fall after Mallory Heyer left on Oct. 22, and Sophie Hart and graduate transfer Finau Tonga may take bigger roles.
Plitzuweit said the program hopes the NCAA will grant Woodson a waiver for a redshirt year and praised her rehab, leadership, and support from teammates, coaches and medical staff.
