Sophomore Carolyn Ganes is still nursing an ankle injury she sustained during practice the week before the Oregon State game. Ganes said she is sitting out practice to give her ankle a chance to heal. She played 18 minutes against Oregon State, 20 minutes at Washington and seven minutes at Washington State. "Mostly just a little bit of sickness and flu floating around," Smith said. "Ashley (Allen) got an ankle sprain (in Tuesday's practice). It's not serious but enough to possibly miss a practice."
