Kimball Union Academy hosted it’s Annual “Playing for a Cure” Day during Homecoming this past weekend.  In an effort to increase Breast Cancer Awareness, all KUA teams were outfitted in the pink uniforms you see below.  Many teams went further by adding pink socks, shoelaces, headbands and facepaint.  T-Shirts were available for a small donation.

Some player wrote on their jerseys, the names of breast cancer survivors that they knew.  Kaitie added Betsey Mayer’s name to a stripe of pink tape on her back.  It was a great weekend with a win by the Girls Varsity Soccer Team over Proctor Academy.

KUA Girls Varsity Soccer traveled to Tabor Academy and came away with a 0-0 tie. After a slow first half in which Tabor dominated, KUA responded with a spirited second half and played a solid 40 minutes of soccer.

Emily Kelly made several good saves and one point blank save with 10 minutes left in the match, to record her first shutout of the season.

Freshman Kaitie Sanders anchored the KUA defense and played a outstanding 80 minutes of soccer.
