WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL: After going the first 17 matches of the season without going to five sets, the Utah Valley Wolverines went five sets for the second consecutive match Tuesday night against Utah State and dropped a 25-19, 19-25, 25-19, 16-25, 15-10 non-conference decision to the Aggies.
The Wolverines (12-7) never led in the fifth and final set. The set was tied just one time at 1-1.
Utah State (11-8) built a five-point advantage at 11-6, but the Wolverines fought back to within two at 12-10 on kills by Kayli Broadbent and Chelsea Fa'alogo and an attach error by the Aggies. Utah State scored the last three points to win the set and match.
WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL: In an effort to raise awareness and money for the world's most common cause of cancer death in women, Utah State's volleyball team will once again be participating in a ODig For A Cure' campaign during the month of October.
As part of the month-long campaign, Aggie fans wearing pink will receive free admission to any of USU's four remaining home matches during the month of October. USU hosts Fresno State on Oct. 15, Idaho on Oct. 19, Louisiana Tech on Oct. 31 and New Mexico State on Oct. 31.
During the month of October, fans can pick up flyers on the concourse level of the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum and pledge money for every dig the Aggies record or they can make a flat donation.
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.
