CHARLOTTESVILLE – The Virginia women’s soccer program will play the Washington Freedom Reserves in the showcase match of the Kicks for Breast Cancer Tournament Sunday April 9 at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Germantown, Md. The game will begin at 5:00 p.m. and will be televised live nationally on Fox Soccer Channel.
“”We are extremely honored to once again be a part of the Kicks for Breast Cancer soccer tournament, not only in terms of having the opportunity to play a team like the Washington Freedom on television, but more importantly to help raise awareness and funds for the Claudia Mayer Cancer Resource & Image Center,” said Virginia head coach Steve Swanson.
