COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The KICKS Against Breast Cancer event in Germantown, Md., and the annual alumni game highlight the 2007 spring Maryland women's soccer schedule, Maryland women's soccer coach Brian Pensky announced today.

The spring season kicks off on Tuesday, April 3 with a 7:30 p.m. match in College Park, Md., against American. Maryland returns to action on Saturday, April 7 with a 2 p.m. game at VCU.

The following Saturday, March 14, finds Terps at the 11th annual KICKS Against Breast Cancer intercollegiate women's tournament at Germantown, 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 hosts Georgetown on Tuesday, April 17 at 7:30 p.m.

The Terps travel to Navy for a 1 p.m. game on Sunday, April 22, before concluding the spring schedule on April 28 with the annual Terrapin Alumni game.
