Alexa Noel at the NCAAs
- Thread starter wneff
- Start date

(The site I am getting the score from says that there is a time-out in the middle of the second game of the second set. No other matches have a time-out, so not weather-related. Injury?)

Never mind, they exchanged court and now I see an Iowa coach there doing the same thing.

It turned out Noel rolled her ankle in the second set. She was leading 6-1 and 2-0 a moment before. Sounds like it would have been an easy victory for her without the injury.
