Memphis Athletics joins the Be The Match effort, looks to increase registry through education.
NOTE: The Be The Match feature first appeared in the Memphis Football GameDay program Oct. 19 when the Tigers hosted Tulane.
In the sports world, the word match is heard frequently.
Someone may say, "Hey, let's go to the volleyball match." Or "Did you see that goal scored in the soccer match?"
Or when a tennis match ends, the chair umpire will say, "Game, set, match."
For the University of Memphis athletics, there's another time when the word match comes into play, and it is much more than a game – it's life-saving.
