DURHAM, N.C.-- After missing most of the last three years of basketball, Duke redshirt freshman Caitlin Howe returned to practice on Tuesday in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Howe was cleared to practice on Sunday, Dec. 14 and participated in the two-hour practice on Tuesday.
If everything goes well with practice this week, Howe will make her college debut on Saturday against Northwestern State at 1:00 p.m. in Bossier City, La.
A native of Rochester, N.Y., Howe suffered torn ACL injuries during her junior and senior years of high school and last season at Duke. She played in an exhibition game in 2002-03 for the Blue Devils but never had enough stability in her knee to play in a regular season contest and ended up having surgery.
Howe was a McDonald's High School All-America selection in 2002 and scored 2,001 points in her varsity career, which began in seventh grade. In her first game of her senior year, Howe scored two points to go over 2,000 points in her career before suffering her second torn ACL shortly after. As a junior, she averaged 24.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.6 steals.
