The Wolverines (12-7) never led in the fifth and final set. The set was tied just one time at 1-1.

The month-long campaign will help to raise money for breast cancer awareness through the Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation, formerly known as the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Donations will be accepted throughout the month of October, which has been designated Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with the proceeds of the campaign going directly to the Komen Foundation.

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36. Today, the foundation is an international organization with a network of more than 75,000 volunteers working through local affiliates and events like the Komen Race for the Cure to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. Together with its Affiliate Network, corporate partners and generous donors, the Komen Foundation has raised more that $740 million for the fight against breast cancer.

For more information, call the National Toll-Free Breast Care Helpline at 1 800 IM AWARE (1.800.462.9273) or visit www.komen.org. Anyone interested in pledging money or making a donation to Utah State's Dig For A Cure' effort can contact Taubi Neves at 435-797-2063.
