Lundqvist waiting on word
about injured left knee

---

Hawaii junior middle Karin Lundqvist underwent an MRI last night to determine whether the injury to her left knee is more serious than originally thought.

Lundqvist was hurt during Game 1 of last Friday's volleyball match at Nevada. The initial diagnosis was a severe sprain. However, blood was found when her knee was being drained earlier this week.

Regardless if it is a sprain or torn anterior cruciate ligament, Lundqvist was not scheduled to play this week.

The No. 1 Wahine host Nevada on Friday, Boise State on Saturday and No. 4 Stanford on Sunday to finish the regular-season home schedule.
