College Park, Md. - The KICKS Against Breast Cancer event in Columbia, Md., and the annual alumni game highlight the 2006 spring Maryland women's soccer schedule, Maryland women's soccer coach Brian Pensky announced today.
The spring season kicks off on Friday, March 29 with a 7:00 p.m. match in College Park, Md., against the Georgetown Hoyas.
After an open week, the Terps return to action on Saturday, April 9, at the 10th annual KICKS Against Breast Cancer intercollegiate women's tournament at the SAC/HC Covenant Park soccer complex in Columbia, Md.
History about Kicks against Breast Cancer KABC was established in honor of Claudia Mayer who passed away in 1996 after a two-year battle with breast cancer. Funds raised from the tournament have been used to assist with the operating expenses for Howard County General Hospital's Claudia Mayer Cancer Resource and Image Center in Columbia. Maryland and mammography screenings were offered to more than 30 women who lacked health insurance. We are proud to say that lives have been saved as a result of the screenings. Since the inaugural tournament, many other businesses have joined in establishing additional fundraising events.
Maryland then turns around with home games the following week against American on April 12 at 7:00 p.m. and Virginia Commonwealth at 1:00 p.m. on April 15.
The Terps host Navy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, April 21, before concluding the spring schedule on April 29 with the annual Terrapin Alumni game at 2:00 p.m. at Ludwig Field.
