Anyone who has been paying any attention to KSC field hockey star Erin Dallas’ career knows that, just last winter, it looked like that stellar athletic career was over.
Dallas had developed a necrotizing fasciitis infection (a rare bacterial infection that can destroy skin and the soft tissue beneath it) after routine ACL surgery last December. At first, it looked like she wouldn’t survive the infection. Then it looked like she would lose her leg. Then it looked like she’d never walk normally, and certainly never play field hockey again. But now it looks like she’s defied all the odds. In nothing short of a miracle, Erin Dallas is back on the field. Her biggest challenge now? Whether to play offense or defense.
