Duke and Syracuse Men's Soccer Honor Malia Jusczyk
DURHAM – On Friday, Sept. 29, the Duke and Syracuse men's soccer teams honored the life and legacy of Malia Jusczyk. The evening served as Pediatric Cancer Awareness Night at Koskinen Stadium and helped share Jusczyk's story, who passed away at the age of 14 in June of 2023 after battling relapsed neuroblastoma.
During warmups and throughout the evening, the two teams wore gold t-shirts, designed by Malia's father, Glen Jusczyk. Glen was in attendance on Friday night and reunited with both teams' head coaches, Duke's John Kerr and Syracuse's Ian McIntyre, who each spent time as Glen's teammates during their respective playing careers.
