Duke junior Kaylene Lewek soaks her feet in ice water after
rotating out of the game near the end of the event. “Your feet
prove to be very important,” Lewek said as she noticed blisters
on both of her pinky toes. After the medical technician informed
her that the nails would probably fall off, she shrugged and
said, "I've never lost a nail before. This should be interesting."
