On Feb. 6 of last year Welliver tore her ACL in the left knee during a basketball practice. On her 17th birthday on Feb. 22 Penn State Director of Athletic Medicine Wayne Sabastianelli performed the surgery to repair the torn ACL.
At the time, she was told it would be nine months recovery time. Nine months which would have her returning at the very end of the volleyball season, if at all.
Nine months of recovery that Welliver was determined to complete in less time.
"When I first did it the doctor said it was going to be nine months, which was the end of the volleyball season, so I wasn't sure I would make it back in time."
Welliver knew that with the graduation of Kylee Sutton, Alison Wickwire and Cassie Benjamin, the Black Knights needed a leader this year.
