Houston Dash's Kealia Ohai flourishing in year after suffering major knee injury

Posted Aug 6, 2018
Houston Dash forward Kealia Ohai says the road to recovery from a meniscus tear in her left knee was difficult, but battling adversity was something Ohai was all too familiar with. Even though she is legally blind in one eye, she never used that as an excuse. She went on play at the University of North Carolina, where she helped lead the Tar Heels to an NCAA title in 2012.
