Come support FIU`s Dig Pink match this Friday the 23rd at 6:30PM


FIU is 19-2 on the season and its winning percentage of .905 ranks fifth in the country, as undefeated Texas and Penn State lead the nation with a perfect percentage.

Our FIU volleyball team will host Sun Belt Conference rival UALR on Friday evening at the U.S. Century Bank Arena, as we team up with the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, Student Government, Division of External Relations and Susan G. Komen for the Cure® for a "Dig Pink" event.
The first 200 fans to arrive will receive a free "Dig Pink" t-shirt or bracelet and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® organization will have a table at the event and a representative there to answer questions and hand out free literature. First serve is set for 6:30 p.m.

At the 10-minute break between sets 2 and 3, I will present a breast cancer survivor — and member of the FIU family — with a pink volleyball, signed by the team.
Our team is honored to be a part of this great collaboration that involves FIU and the Miami and the South Florida volleyball communities in raising awareness about breast cancer and importance of early detection. Teamwork at its best can create magic, and I believe that if we all come together for this great cause, that we can be a part of finding a cure for cancer.

Please bring your friends, family and supporters, all are welcome as we play, fight and win together!
See you on Friday as we make it a perfect 10!

Sincerely,
Coach Tomic
