IOWA CITY - University of Iowa junior Jaime Printy tore the ACL in her left knee during Thursday night's Big Ten game at Wisconsin and will miss the remainder of the season.

Printy, a 5-foot-11 guard, will need surgery to repair the injury. She tore the same ligament when she was a sophomore at Linn-Mar High School.

Printy is Iowa's leading scorer at 16.9 points and ranks 10th in school history with 1,409 points in her career. She was the Big Ten freshman of the year in 2009-10 and twice has been a second team all-Big Ten selection.

"Tearing my ACL for the second time is tough news to take," Printy said in a news release that's posted on the UI website. "It feels like our team is really hitting its stride right now and it's going to be really hard to watch the rest of the season from the bench.

"But, I'm ready to help the team in any way I can from the sidelines and am looking forward to watching my teammates continue to play well. I'm really going to miss playing with our senior class. They taught me so much and were so much fun to be with on the court."

Printy was hurt in the final minute of overtime in Iowa's victory at Wisconsin.

"We are extremely disappointed to lose Jaime for the rest of the season," Iowa Coach Lisa Bluder said in the news release. "It's very unfortunate that she has to go through another ACL injury. Jaime is one of the elite players in our conference, and it's tough to see this type of injury happen to such a great individual."

Printy is expected to make a full recovery.

"After going through rehab once before in high school, I know a little bit of what to expect," she said. "After surgery, I'm going to put all my focus on getting back to 100 percent."
