The soccer teams want to win their games this Saturday, but they have a bigger battle in mind.
They are using their Saturday contests to raise money for cancer treatment and research as part of Kick for the Cure.
Both the boys' and girls' teams, varsity and junior varsity, are selling T-shirts for $10 that double as tickets to all their games. All the proceeds from the shirts' sales go to University Hospitals' Seidman Cancer Center.
