More about Heather
• Favorite movie and book: “Zoolander” and “The Kite Runner.”
• Most embarrasing moment: I was wearing a boot my freshman year (with the team) at Izzy’s. I had to get up. My boot got stuck, and I hit the ground in front of everybody.”
• Favorite subject: “I’m the only one I know who loves math.”
• Nickname: “Slick.”
Next year and beyond
• After an off-season of rehabilitating the knee, Corral expects to have a strong senior season. She also is trying to decide on college. She has several offers, some from programs in the Pac-10 and the SEC.
“I thought getting hurt really opened my eyes to how much I love basketball and the passion I have for it.”
