Gemelos injured again

Southern California guard Jacki Gemelos injured her knee again and the highly touted prep star will miss her third straight season with the Trojans.

Gemelos hurt her left knee during a workout Monday, suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus tear. Previously, she tore the ACL in her right knee twice.

Gemelos was considered the nation's No. 1 player coming out of high school as a senior at St. Mary's High in Stockton. She suffered her first knee injury in her final high school game with St. Mary's, sidelining her for her first year at USC. Then, she tore the same ligament again before last season.

Gemelos and redshirt freshman Stefanie Gilbreath, who has also suffered three torn knee ligaments, are both scheduled to undergo surgery in the coming weeks.
