Playing For Something More

This year's B1G/ACC Challenge is aligned with Fight4ALS, a campaign that works to raise awareness and find a cure for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Fight4ALS was founded by Matt and Peggy Engleka. Peggy, a former Olympic field hockey player, is a close friend of Maryland head coach Missy Meharg. Her husband, Matt, is battling advanced ALS and the couple are actively working to find a cure.
Matt and Peggy were in attendance at the game, with Matt performing the ceremonial pushback to kick off the weekend. Each team was wearing a custom t-shirt and the first 200 fans were given a Fight4ALS wristband.
