The Seton Hall softball team held a breast cancer awareness month-themed practice in mid-October, bringing attention to the disease through the team’s social media pages.
The idea for the event was inspired by the connections some of the players have to people with the disease, head coach Paige Smith said.
“Women, in general, need to raise awareness because statistics are showing that we’re pretty likely to be touched by it in some way whether personal or in our close circle,” Smith said.
Because breast cancer has hit close to home for many softball players, including sophomore Taylor Soanes, the team felt it was necessary to put together this practice.
