Saturday's match also marked the fourth Red Card Cancer game, a program Paul Payne initiated in 2009.
 
“Red Card Cancer continues to grow at all levels of soccer here in the U.S,” said Paul Payne. “Last year Red Card Cancer events were held in 15 different states at youth tournaments, high school and college games and again for the 3rd year at a MLS DC United match.  Over $25,000 was raised in 2011 and we know that amount will continue to grow this year and beyond. Cancer does not discriminate and through research being done at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Red Card Cancer hopes to find cures for the different types that affect us all.  Hopefully with your help 'Together Can Make a Difference'”
 
The Huskies are back in action Tuesday at California of Pa. with a 2:00 p.m. start.
