In the vacant Dahlberg Arena, the Montana women’s basketball team scrimmage during the final moments of an afternoon practice. Without any slowness in her stride, sophomore forward Katie Baker cuts to the ball and in one fluid motion finds a teammate open for an easy layup. As Baker runs back up the court there are no lingering signs of the knee injury she suffered last January against Eastern Washington. After eight months of rehab in the offseason, Baker is back and leading the Lady Griz in scoring and rebounds this season.
