Sophomore goalkeeper Mo Isom was injured in a car wreck while she was in her home state of Georgia for Thanksgiving break.”It was a scary accident, but she should be fine long-term and probably should recover enough in time for spring soccer,” said LSU coach Brian Lee.Isom’s car was totaled, but she was able to crawl out of the car without sustaining career-threatening injuries. She was released from the hospital Nov. 25.Lee said a deer ran in front her car, and she tried to avoid it but lost control of the vehicle. An update posted on Isom’s Facebook page described her having a fractured bone in her neck, lung contusions and cracked ribs, but the LSU trainers are still evaluating her. The update also stated her car flipped and hit a tree. It is not clear who posted the update on Isom’s Facebook page. “She’s just getting back, so she’s in the process of seeing our doctors,” Lee said. “She’s pretty beat and bruised for sure.”Isom has shined as one of the young stars of the soccer team. In just two years, she has already set the record for most shutouts by an LSU goalkeeper.The exact timetable for Isom’s return is still up in the air.”You never want that to happen, and certainly from a playing perspective she’s got plenty of time to heal up and rest before we’re getting back to full throttle,” Lee said.–Contact Rowan Kavner at [email protected]
