It’s been more than a year and a half since Brianna Sandone hurt her left knee in a high school softball practice, but she remembers it like it was yesterday.

Then a junior on the softball team at Bishop Eustace Prep, Sandone had just thrown a pitch and was fielding a ball hit back to her. She stepped to her left to retrieve the ball and her knee buckled under her. The diagnosis was a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Sandone required surgery and endured months of rehabilitation. She returned to play softball as a senior, but chose to play the outfield rather than pitch. She’s fully recovered and playing for Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken. Click here to read more.
