Hoover’s Herbert Sidelined With Groin Injury
- Share via
Sophomore pitcher Cori Herbert of the Hoover High softball team suffered a groin injury a week ago during a lateral movement drill and reaggravated the injury while pitching in tournament games over the weekend.
Herbert, who had 246 strikeouts in 153 innings last season and led Hoover to a Pacific League title, has not practiced this week.
“I’m just going to rest her for a couple of weeks and see what happens,” Coach Kirt Kohlmeier said. “I really don’t have any other option. I want her ready for league [play].”
VOLLEYBALL
Hitting the mark: Pepperdine outside hitter George Roumain was named the American Volleyball Coaches Assn. player of the week after leading the No. 2 Waves to a pair of sweeps at Hawaii last weekend.
In the two matches, Roumain totaled 59 kills, 14 digs, 10 blocks and a .470 hitting percentage for the Waves (12-1), who have won nine straight and are off to their best start since they won the national championship in 1992.

Rescheduled: Pierce College’s alumni game, postponed by rain on Feb. 8, will be played March 22 at 11 a.m. at Joe Kelly Field.
