UC Irvine basketball player Jeff Gloger, who will be a senior next
season, is expected to undergo surgery within the next few weeks
after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during
individual workouts May 25.
He is scheduled to have the surgery shortly after final exams next
week.
A 6-foot-4 wing, Gloger became the Anteaters' career leader in
steals with 167 after recording 32 last season. He averaged 9.6
points and shot 50.5 percent from the field. Gloger was UCI's
second-leading rebounder last season at 5.0 per game.
Gloger, who ranks sixth at UCI with 295 career assists, has played
in all 86 games with 76 starts the past three seasons. UCI opens the
regular season facing George Mason University in the Coaches vs.
Cancer Classic at Wake Forest Nov. 10.
