World Ovarian Cancer Day Hits Home for Troy Softball

TROY, Ala. – As the Trojans prepare to honor World Ovarian Cancer Day at the Troy Softball Complex tonight, two current members of the Troy Softball team reflect back on the life of Alex Wilcox.

May 8th is internationally known as World Ovarian Cancer Day. This cause hits home for much of the softball community as the sport has banded together in the fight against ovarian cancer in honor of Mississippi State standout Alex Wilcox.

Wilcox was a member of the 2018 Mississippi State softball team who inspired the nation with her courageous fight against ovarian cancer.
