The West Georgia Wolves Volleyball team took on their rivals, the Alabama-Huntsville chargers, for their 40th match on Tuesday, Oct. 6 as the kick-off of their “Think Pink” campaign for breast cancer research.

The Wolves were decked out in pink during their warm-ups at pre-game as part of their partnership with Komen for the Cure to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research during the month of October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The Wolves offered up merchandise during the match, such as pink miniature volleyballs and “Think Pink” T-shirts, with all proceeds from the sales going to Komen for the Cure and breast cancer research.

Unfortunately, the Wolves fell to the Lady Chargers 3-1, with UAH bringing solid defense throughout the match. Despite this, setter Ellie Murphy pulled off 31 assists for the night in her first game since being moved from libero.

The next UWG Wolves “Think Pink” event will be held on Oct. 13, with the team hosting Montevallo. After that, they take on Valdosta State on the 20, and finish the month off with a match against Armstrong Atlantic on the 27.
