DDN: Huibregtse makes quick recovery on way to 1,000 points

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Alex Huibregtse didn’t know whether he’d be able to play. No one knew.

He’d been hampered by lower-back issues that forced him miss Wright State’s previous game, and he barely practiced before facing Purdue Fort Wayne.

But he suited up, started and came out firing. He hit a pair of 3′s in the opening 45 seconds and kept it going, finishing with 31 points while going 7 of 14 beyond the arc and playing 47 of 50 minutes.

Asking what happened in the days leading up to the game, though, wouldn’t be the right question.

It isn’t a what but a who.

Huibregtse credited head trainer LaShaunta’ Jones, who is in her third year, for getting him back on the court. And he never looked fitter.
