OU soccer team plays Texas in their Kick for a Cure game Friday.

OU Girls Soccer Kick For a Cure 

Students supported OU girls soccer and cancer research at the Kick for a Cure game against Texas Friday.

All the proceeds of the game including an auction of pink jersey's worn by the players at the game went to supporting cancer research. The soccer team has been doing community service with cancer patients for the past two years. The OU volleyball coach's son Javier just recently died of cancer so this game really meant a lot to the team and the entire athletic department, said Tiana Dickson public relations junior. 

"Our team had been spending time with Javi when he was sick and receiving chemo, so this game really hit home for everyone, said Dickson".

The OU soccer team and athletic department will continue to support cancer research and remember Javier. The volleyball team is dedicating their game on Wednesday to Javier and his family.
