Gibson suffers stress fracture ending breakout season for SIU
Jasmine Gibson, junior forward for Southern Illinois University women, diagnosed with a stress fracture late last week. She had boosted scoring from 7.1 to 17.1 points per game and raised field goal percentage to .522, showing confidence and maturity after two earlier seasons as she battled through injury and shadowed by Carlos Moore. The injury is a setback for the Salukis and their hopes in the Missouri Valley Conference.
