Despite the injury, Janowski has averaged about 20 minutes per game this year. She leads the Crimson with six blocked shots, and is second on the team with 20 rebounds.

Her shooting touch has not fully returned, however, as she is shooting only 36 percent from the floor, but the team is really helped by her size and strong play in the paint.

Now that Janowski is back in the lineup, she has had to deal with taking on the role of a starter after not practicing with the team in the preseason, but this too she seems to accept without losing any sleep.

"The coach said [I] need to step up for the team this year," Janowski says of the increased demands placed on her this year. "But [she's not putting pressure on me] to do anything differently."

"Rose is a big part of our offense," Black says. "It's very hard for any team to match up with the three of us (Janowski, Black and Feaster)."

Janowski still looks up to others on the team for leadership and help even as she is beginning to emerge as one of the pillars in the middle of the Crimson lineup.

"I still have a lot to learn. There's always something that someone else is better at, and that I can learn from," Janowski says in her typical, modest manner.

"I definitely believe that she's one of the best post players in the Ivy League," Black says. "But in our offense, no one has to do a lot. Our lineup is so balanced that there's room. She is a sophomore. You can't put undue pressure on people, especially an underclassmen."

Janowski also has seen no troubles re-joining a team that played together without her throughout the preseason.

"So many people have had injuries on this team, we've all gotten used to it."

Hopefully the team's injuries are behind them as the Crimson leave today for Arizona to play in the Copper Bowl Classic this weekend.
