Senior forward Kristina Divjak (Dyer, Ind./Lake Central) of the Northwestern University women's basketball team underwent surgery Dec. 28 to alleviate a condition in her left knee known as lateral patella compression syndrome.

According to team athletic trainer Jackie Wise, the surgery was a success and Divjak has already embarked on what will be a lengthy rehabilitation process.

On Dec. 9, head coach Don Perrelli announced that Divjak would be out for the remainder of the season. The 1997-98 Big Ten scoring leader played in four games this season, averaging 16.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per game before being sidelined. She tallied a season-high 27 points against then No. 22-ranked UC-Santa Barbara on Nov. 18.
