WALTHAM, Mass. --Saturday will be "Play 4 the Cure" Day at Bentley University when the Falcon field hockey team takes on St. Michael's College. Game time is set for 2 pm.

Bentley is one of many field hockey programs across the country that is participating in the Play 4 the Cure campaign, which is aimed at raising awareness and money for breast cancer. October is the height of the field hockey playing season in the United States and it is also the month when the national spotlight shines on breast cancer awareness.

During the game, pink bracelets, t-shirts, baked goods and raffle tickets will be sold. Postgame, fans will be able to buy the opportunity to take a penalty stroke against Bentley's goalkeepers.

Those interested can also make a tax-deductible contribution at the game, or checks, made payable to Bentley University Field Hockey, can be mailed to Jessica Spencer, Field Hockey Coach, Bentley University, 175 Forest Street, Waltham, Mass. 02452.  You can also donate online at https://www.crowdrise.com/bentleyu-play4thecure/fundraiser/bentleyfieldhockey.

All proceeds will go to the National Foundation for Cancer Research. More information about the foundation can be found at www.nfcr.org/p4tc .

Bentley, 5-4 overall, has won three of its four Northeast-10 Conference games so far, as well as four of its five home contests.
