Fueled by the story of coach Katie Schumacher-Cawley, No. 18 Penn State hosted Rutgers on Friday night for the annual Dig Pink Match. The Nittany Lion faithful packed Rec Hall in pink and black, as the players themselves donned fresh jerseys, battling in a scrappy meeting between Big Ten foes.
Dig Pink is a fundraiser organized by The Side-Out Foundation, which is dedicated to raising money for cancer care and treatment research. The money raised by the foundation through events such as the Dig Pink Match are donated directly to supporting the research of breast cancer.
“It was great to see all the pink,” Schumacher-Cawley said.
