As <\/span>Kiaraliz Perez<\/span><\/a><\/span> felt her right knee buckle and a sharp pain shot down her ankle, she feared the worst.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing that went through my mind was, \u2018I won\u2019t be able to play again,\u2019\u201d the Lady Sharks star defensive setter recalls thinking after suffering the injury during a team practice in late September.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perez soon had a fever, a swollen knee and was unable to walk for four days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defensive Stalwart: Kiaraliz Perez leads the Lady Sharks with 300 digs this season. The sophomore has recorded at least 22 digs in seven matches this season. BRIANNA ACEVEDO \/ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The symptoms were consistent with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that would require season-ending surgery and months of rehab.<\/span><\/p>\n

But a week later, her prognosis vastly improved.<\/span><\/p>\n

A magnetic resonance imaging scan determined that Perez sustained a mild posterior cruciate ligament injury<\/span>\u2014<\/span>not a tear.<\/span><\/p>\n

The injury will not require surgery. Perez believes she can return to action before the regular season ends.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a relief,\u201d said Lady Sharks Head Volleyball Coach <\/span>Kiko \u201cOrigenes\u201d Benoit<\/span><\/a><\/span>,<\/span> who a week earlier called the injury \u201ca big loss.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While she recovers, Perez is using crutches to walk. She is undergoing physical therapy, lifting weights to strengthen the knee and icing it down to reduce inflammation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m good,\u201d Perez said. \u201cMuch calmer knowing that I won\u2019t need an operation and that I don\u2019t have a serious injury.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 21-year-old has been the team’s defensive spark plug this season, commanding the back row while leading the squad with 300 digs, including an impressive 6.52 per set.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For her efforts, she has been named the Florida College System Athletic Association\u2019s Division I volleyball defensive player of the week twice this season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During her absence, five-foot-ten inch Italian outside hitter <\/span>Beatrice <\/span>Carulli has filled in for Perez. She struggled in her first match, notching only five digs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s hard for me because it’s new,\u201d Carulli said after the Lady Sharks 3-0 victory versus Eastern Florida State College on Oct. 6.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Carulli has proven to be a quick learner. She had 18 digs versus <\/span>Hillsborough Community College on Oct. 8 and 16 versus Daytona State College on Oct. 13, both MDC victories.<\/span><\/p>\n

With four games remaining in the regular season, t<\/span>he Lady Sharks are 17-4 and ranked No. 4 in the nation. Poised for a deep playoff run, they look forward to Perez\u2019s return.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cShe transmits confidence,\u201d said sophomore outside hitter Romina Cornelio. \u201cWhen you see her you don\u2019t worry about covering the whole court because you know she is there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
