MACON, Ga. - In association with National Cancer Awareness Month, the Atlantic Sun Conference men’s soccer programs have partnered with the Coaches vs. Cancer Foundation. In the five A-Sun men’s soccer contests played on Thursday and Friday, all players competing will be wearing pink armbands and tape, while the coaches will be showing support by wearing pink polo shirts on the sidelines.

Dick’s Sporting Goods has joined with the A-Sun players and coaches to sponsor the event. In addition to the players and coaches participating in the event fans at the home sites of Jacksonville, UNF, FGCU, Belmont and Lipscomb are encouraged to make donations to the American Cancer Foundation before or during the game.
