BERKELEY, Calif. -- Highly touted California freshman Tierra Rogers will not play for the Golden Bears after being diagnosed this week with a rare heart condition and having a defibrillator implanted Thursday.
The school made the announcement Thursday night, saying Rogers' condition was discovered Sept. 21 when she had trouble breathing then collapsed at Haas Pavilion outside the training room. She was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital then to UC San Francisco Medical Center. It was there where doctors discovered her condition and performed the procedure.
Cal coach Joanne Boyle said in a statement "this is obviously devastating news for Tierra and her family."
