 Millikin University's volleyball program hosted the Linda Slagell
"Dig for the Cure" tournament. The
tournament and the breast cancer awareness effort are a fitting
tribute to Millikin's coach, Linda Slagell. Slagell is a breast
cancer survivor and Millikin's all-time winningest volleyball coach.
Teams participating in the tournament were Aurora University,
Benedictine-Springfield, Clarke College, Concordia-Wisconsin,
Earlham College, Lincoln Christian University, Millikin University,
Robert Morris University and Webster University.
LCU's Red Lions volleyball team improved their record to 12-3 by
winning their two matches at the "Dig for the Cure" tournament.
 The Red Lions posted wins over Robert Morris College and Aurora
University as LCU won three of four games during the weekend
tournament. Congratulations are in order for Krystine
Schnautz and Jamie McFadden, who were both named to the
all-tournament team.

"Dig for the Cure" was started in 2003 by University of North
Carolina-Charlotte volleyball coach Lisa Marston. Marston, whose
mother was a breast cancer survivor, used her idea as a way to
raise money for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.
The Komen Foundation is a national organization that raises money
for breast cancer research. "Dig for the Cure" has become a
nationwide event and a way for volleyball teams to come together and
join in fellowship. ___
