CHAPEL HILL --- Director of Sports Medicine Dr. Tim Taft said surgery Monday on University of North Carolina basketball center/forward Brian Bersticker was "successful." Taft inserted a screw and performed a bone graft on Bersticker's left foot as a result of a fracture he suffered in Friday night's game against the College of Charleston in the Charlotte Coliseum.

Taft said Bersticker will spend the evening at UNC Hospital and should be released Tuesday. He will spend the next week on crutches and should be out of action for approximately 10 weeks.

The Virginia Beach, Va., native was averaging better than five points and three rebounds per game in the four games before he was injured. Bersticker had four points in five minutes against the Cougars.
