OSHAWA, Ont. – This Friday night fans will have the opportunity to catch the UOIT women's field lacrosse team at home again as they play host to the Ottawa Gee-Gees.
Game time is 7 p.m. at the Oshawa Civic.
The game is part of UOIT varsity teams going pink for October in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and Sick Kids Foundation. Special pink t-shirts will be on sale at the game, with all proceeds going to the two foundations.
"I think this is a great campaign for all Ridgebacks to get behind and make an impact," said Cassandra Sribny, a member of the Ridgeback Leadership Council. "It will be exciting to see all of the varsity teams, students and fans to get behind."
UOIT returns home after a weekend in Guelph.
They opened the weekend against the Western Mustangs with a 23-2 loss, but finished with a better showing against McMaster.
The Ridgebacks lost 7-4, with
Julia Vinkovic (Oshawa, Ont.) leading with two goals.
