UConn incoming freshman guard Crystal Dangerfield underwent hip surgery on Friday to repair a preexisting injury and the school announced that she is expected to be fully recovered in time for the preseason.

The procedure forced Dangerfield to give up her spot on the U.S. U-18 national team.

Dangerfield, a member of the U.S. team which won the FIBA U19 World Championship for Women title in 2015, was a consensus high school All-American who is expected to compete for a starting position as a freshman for the Huskies.
