BERKELEY, Calif. -- A California basketball player pointed to acknowledge Savannah Rennie in the Haas Pavilion hallway and smiled.Comeback Kid! Sam Singer proclaimed before disappearing into the weight room.That she is. A 19-year-old woman, very much still a kid indeed, back in college with a new liver to keep her alive for the long haul.Rennie returned to Cal early last month following five months in Indiana, where she received a liver transplant that has allowed her slowly, and somewhat impatiently, to get back on the volleyball court for the Golden Bears. And she might even play in a match again by seasons end, though nobody is rushing that process aside from Rennie herself.From fellow student-athletes, the supportive community in Berkeley, to USA Volleyball -- decorated player-turned-U.S. coach Karch Kiraly sent a note of well wishes during the spring -- and fans far beyond the Bay Area, Rennie has had quite a cheering section through her frightening ordeal. They are rooting her on once more as she gets back to a full load of courses and volleyball practice this fall. Womens basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb is yet another person who inquired about Rennies health and volleyball status.Rennie was diagnosed with congenital hepatic fibrosis with portal hypertension last September. The disease typically affects newborns or seniors, not healthy, thriving teens. Her doctor back home in San Diego has since diagnosed several other patients with the condition.One day last week, Rennie was the last one working out, finishing her weights routine with some calf raises as several teammates hustled off to their afternoon classes.With all that watching from the sideline last season, Rennie has become like a second set of coaching eyes on the court for coach Rich Feller. She knows her teammates tendencies and speaks up when they ask for feedback -- and even when they dont, Rennie is vocal.Hey, short serve, this side! she hollers.Serve coming this way!Everyones really inspired by her work ethic because we know how hard it was to come back. But she didnt falter, said senior Maddy Kerr, from the same San Diego high school. It wasnt ever a question for us that she was going to come back. We knew shed be back. Its a testament to the way she is as a person and was before this all happened.On Friday night, Rennie will be in warmups as the Bears welcome back former Cal player and U.S. Olympic bronze medalist setter Carli Lloyd, honoring her before a match against West Virginia. Soon, Rennie will be ready to pull on that No. 16 game uniform.She realizes she cant rush it. She has been through so much, emotionally and physically. It has been just more than three months since the surgery.Theres a large scar across her midsection that she notes resembles the Mercedes Benz logo. It will serve as a constant reminder of what she endured, of her new life now. And, yes, she very much plans to rock a bikini and be prepared for stares and questions along the way.Im 19, she said matter-of-factly.On the court, Rennie is primarily working from the back row, though she has been able to sneak a couple of swings without anybody taking much notice. She has gained back muscle and is hitting the ball harder than she did before.Feller is making sure Rennie takes it slow. If she plays this season, it will be a bonus.We have to grab her and go, `No, you cant, no you cant, Feller said. Until the doctors really say she can jump and hit in anger, youre not doing that.Rennie kept pushing to get back on the court, just to practice and feel like an athlete again.I was pretty annoying, she said. Id ask every day. Id ask every drill.Her surgery was May 17, and best friend and teammate Maddie Haynes surprised her in Indiana. Haynes arrived, by chance and fortunate luck, a day before Rennie got the call saying it was time.Its an emotional moment seeing her back out there, just from the last two months being with her, Haynes said. Seeing that happen and all that goes on and now her back on the court, shes doing more than what someone who would have had the surgery should be doing. Its just incredible to see her. Shes acting like she never had the surgery.Someday, Rennie might be ready to reach out to her donor family. For now, all she knows about her livers backstory is it came from a woman in her 20s.She is thankful to no longer be experiencing extreme pain or the excruciating headaches, high fevers and nausea.Rennie wears a necklace every day with her initials, SLR, and the date of her operation in Roman numerals. When the timing is right, she will get a tattoo near her scar in Roman numerals with the date and GPS coordinates of the Indiana hospital.Where and when I got my life back, she explains. A year out maybe. Ill let my whole abdomen chill out for a second. Thats my plan.Just one of many plans Rennie can now make about what she hopes is a healthy, promising future. With the sport and people she loves. China Jerseys . 31, the CFL club announced Monday.

Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping . At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014. Two teams seemingly headed in opposite directions will clash when the Ole Miss Rebels host the No. 15 Auburn Tigers at 7:15 p.m. ET Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford (SEC Network).The Tigers (5-2, 3-1 SEC) will take a four-game winning streak into the game after beginning the year with losses in two of their first three games, albeit to highly regarded Clemson and Texas A&M.The Rebels (3-4, 1-2) lost their last two games and have fallen under the .500 mark for the first time since they were sitting at 5-6 late in the 2012 season before winning their last two games.And while the Tigers look to establishing themselves as a challenger to SEC West Division leader unbeaten Alabama, the Rebels find themselves needing to win three of their last five games to reach the six-win level for automatic bowl eligibility.And one more thing: The Tigers are coming off an impressive 56-3 dismantling of an Arkansas team that dealt the Rebels a 34-30 setback the week before. The Rebels lost 38-21 to LSU last week while the Tigers were churning out 543 yards rushing against the Razorbacks. Thats the most ground yardage ever for an SEC team against an SEC opponent.When we get the tempo going, especially being able to tempo and downhill run, we are at our best, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said of the offensive explosion that saw the Tigers average 9.5 yards a carry.That creates a worrisome scenario for the Rebels, who are having problems stopping people. After surrendering an SEC single-game school record of 284 rushing yards to LSU star running back Leonard Fournette last week, the Rebels are 113th out of 128 FBS teams against the run and dont rank any better than 70th nationally in pass defense, total defense or scoring defense.The unit now will be tasked with trying to halt, or at least slow, an Auburn offense that seems to be hitting its stride.Quarterback Sean White is playing with confidence and has become a team leader since getting off to a slow start. The sophoomore, who started five games last year, threw a touchdown pass and rushed for another in the rout of Arkansas.ddddddddddddhe Tigers also displayed their depth in the backfield. With starter Kerryon Johnson held out to protect an ankle injury, backup Kamryn Pettway rushed for a career-high 192 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson likely will return against the Rebels.Im sure theyre going to come out and see it as a weakness to run the ball, Ole Miss defensive end Victor Evans said. Weve just got to handle it.Ole Miss offense, meanwhile, seems to be running into a wall in the second half of recent outings. The SECs second-ranked scoring offense has scored 10 total points in the second half of losses to Arkansas and LSU -- all of them coming in the fourth quarter against the Razorbacks -- and mustered just 104 yards in the final two quarters against LSU.I wish I knew, quarterback Chad Kelly said when asked what was behind the recent second-half struggles. Weve just to play harder and have the mental makeup that were going out to the second half to a team thats going to make adjustments. Weve got to execute better.Going against Auburns defense is not exactly an easy way to remedy the situation.A healthy Carl Lawson is leading the surge up front. The Auburn junior has been a terror off the edge with 6.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss. Senior tackle Montravius Adams has three sacks and six tackles for loss as the Tigers have recorded 18 sacks and 46 tackles behind the line of scrimmage.Maybe the best defense as far as points per game that weve seen, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. Only giving up 14 points a game is unheard of almost these days.You watch them on tape and you see why, and now their rushing game is back to what theyve been known for. So they are an outstanding football team that will provide us another great challenge.
