Undertalented to begin with, Littlerock has been plagued by injuries - top hitter Alison Gorny went down with a season-ending knee injury last week - and academic ineligibility. ``I'm just trying to encourage the girls to do better,'' Zammardi said. ``We've got a bunch of girls now who basically are just out there to have fun.
