The release did not specify the injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_nq1eud3qp\">Greene was a complementary guard as a sophomore\u2014while she was actually a redshirt freshman\u2014as Vanderbilt made the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight season. Greene averaged 6.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_tdyoc4b4d\">\u201cMadison is in great hands with our medical team, and we will fully support her through the recovery process and her return to the court,\u201d Ralph said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_e9i1f6skd\">As a result of Greene\u2019s injury, she will now sit out two of her first three seasons at Vanderbilt. Greene missed most of her freshman season as a result of a torn ACL that she suffered in a 2023-24 win against Lipscomb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_8csbdofq6\">Greene was expected to play significant minutes and was expected to take on an added level of responsibility this season alongside Vanderbilt star guard Mikayla Blakes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_sn8lb2wss\">With Greene now out, Vanderbilt now needs someone else to step up and become one of the leaders on the roster. Losing an upperclassman like Greene certainly hurts. The Commodores now have two months to figure out what they will do as the Nov. 3 season-opener against California looms. The game will be played in Paris, France at the Oui-Play Event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_2e1peuywl\">There are no games scheduled today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_bvu2edezh\">There were no games yesterday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_s6i4xm64x\">Vanderbilt baseball announced its fall baseball schedule Tuesday afternoon. The first day of fall training is Sept. 13 before the Commodores play two exhibition games against Utah Oct. 10 &#8211; at The Ballpark at America First Square, home of the Salt Lake Bees &#8211; and Murray State in Hawkins Field on Oct. 17.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0u5o5ew2f\">Vanderbilt will also participate in the David Williams Fall Classic on a date to be announced later. The event is an intra-squad series to end the fall portion of the schedule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_qf5nzi3vv\">61 days<\/p>\n<blockquote data-mm-id=\"_fa096qb0h\" class=\"wrapper_u4dip4-o_O-style_6s3kpz\">\n<p class=\"text_1c7yuw-o_O-tagStyle_12j16kw\">\u201cI grew up in poverty.
