Marandola Nursing Back Injury

Providence College basketball star Chelsea Marandola has a herniated disk in her lower back and is not sure when she will be able to play. The junior from Johnston will miss her fourth game tonight. PC is 2-1.

Marandola suffered the injury in May while lifting weights and was diagnosed with the herniated disk in July. She has been in physical therapy since that time. If she does not return in December, she may apply for a medical red-shirt so she will have two years of eligibility remaining. Coach Phil Seymore said if she participates in one game after Jan. 1 and re-injures her back and misses the season, she will lose the year of eligibility.

Marandola was second-team All-Big East last season. She led the Friars in scoring (17.3), rebounding (7.1) and steals (1.7).
