ALBANY, N.Y.<\/strong> \u2013 The University at Albany women\u2019s lacrosse team has rallied around sophomore attack Whitney Corby<\/a> in the wake of a serious car crash she as involved in at the end of December 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corby was on her way to the gym near her hometown of Coming, N.Y., around 10 p.m., when her car skid on black ice and crashed into a tree. She was pulled from her vehicle and air lifted to Robert Packer Hospital with a fractured skull, head trauma, a broken collarbone and a bruised lung.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the accident, Corby has been rehabbing at a head trauma center after being in a coma for one week. She has been able to clutch a stick and toss a lacrosse ball, despite not being able to walk on her own. The sophomore is scheduled to be released from the rehab center on Feb. 13.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corby\u2019s mother Teresa posts regularly on a blog through caringbridge.org<\/a> with updates about her progress. The women\u2019s lacrosse team will also be wearing purple arm bands this season that say \u201cWhit\u201d to raise awareness and honor their teammate.<\/span><\/p>\n

UAlbany students, staff, alumni and fans have multiple venues available to support the Whitney Corby<\/a> fundraising efforts. Bracelets are for sale for $ 5.00, with all the proceeds going directly to Whitney\u2019s family, and can be purchased by emailing assistant coach Tee Ladouceur<\/a> at tladouceur@albany.edu<\/a>. The UAlbany track & field team has already purchased 100 bracelets to jump-start the initiative. Donations are also being accepted through the Caring Bridge website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bobby T\u2019s Sports Grill in on North Allen Street in Albany will also be holding a fundraising event on Feb. 16, called \u201cWings for Whitney.\u201d Ten percent of all food purchases at the sports grill between 12 and 4 p.m., will cover recovery costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
