There has been another delay in Jess McCormack's surgery on the area around her Achilles tendon.

I just heard back from the sophomore forward/center who is sitting out this season after transferring from the University of Washington who said she had a reaction to the anaesthetic causing the surgery to be delayed. Here is what she said in the e-mail.

"Went in for surgery on Monday but only got as far as being anathatised. I had a massive reaction to the anasthetic and ended up in the ICU. Will go in for the surgery under local anaesthetic in about a week's time to give me some time to recover."

It is the second delay for the surgery. On the flight home, McCormack got sick and that forced the procedure to clean up the scar tissue around the tendon to be pushed back.

Since McCormack withdrew from school to go back to New Zealand for the surgery and rehabilitation, she will not be eligible to make her debut for the Huskies until the fall, 2009 semester is complete.
