Wilkes Women's Soccer Hosting Breast Cancer Awareness Match Saturday
 
WILKES-BARRE -- The Wilkes University women's soccer team is hosting a breast cancer awareness match Saturday, October 20 celebrating the life of Susan Dalton St. Onge '91.
 
Susan was a proud Wilkes women's soccer alumnus and member of the first women's soccer team at Wilkes, playing on the team from 1987-1990. Susan was passionate about her time both at Wilkes and as a part of the women's soccer team, remaining active with the Wilkes alumnae group long after she graduated.  Susan lost her battle with cancer on June 21, 2018. Wilkes will continue to host a game in her honor each upcoming season.
 
The team will be hosting a bake sale at both the men's and women's matches Saturday, starting with the men's contest at 1:00 p.m. All proceeds from the event will be donated in Susan's name to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation - 91 cents out of every dollar donated goes directly to research.
 
If you were a teammate of Susan's and would like to attend the match please contact John McNichol at john.mcnichol@wilkes.edu.
