Sophomore utility player Nicole Dalton (Parker, Colo.) will redshirt the 2013 season following a season-ending left hip injury. Dalton underwent surgery to repair her injured hip Monday, Sept. 30.
In 2012, Dalton made 14 starts in 31 matches and recorded 35 kills (0.35 kps) while hitting .206 with 171 assists (1.71 aps), three aces (0.03 saps), 184 digs (1.84 dps), 32 blocks (0.32 bps) and 56.5 points (0.56 pps).
Comment from Texas Volleyball head coach Jerritt Elliott
"Nicole is a valuable and instrumental member of our program, and she's going to come back with renewed strength in 2014. She is the ultimate competitor and an amazing young woman that we are lucky to have in our program. We will be right there with her each step of the way and I can't wait to see her leadership on the court in 2014. Her surgeon, Dr. Marc Philippon at The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colo., is a leading specialist in hip disorders and a renowned orthopedic surgeon. There is no doubt that Nicole is in the best hands possible between Dr. Philippon and Texas athletic trainer DeAnn Koehler, and she'll make a full recovery over the next several months."
