WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University field hockey will honor its seniors and will also hold its annual "Play for 4 Cure" Day when the Falcons host Franklin Pierce University Saturday at noon.

Bentley, which is raising money for the fight against cancer, 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, they'll be selling clothing, drinks and snacks, in addition to accepting donations. 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. All proceeds will go to the National Foundation for Cancer Research. The goal is to raise $1,000.

This year's team features a half-dozen seniors, all of whom see significant playing time for coach Jessica Spencer's squad. They are Caitlin Derrickson (Wilmington/Central Catholic HS), Taylor Kane (Bethlehem, Pa./Liberty HS), Eva Michaliszyn (Media, Pa./Penncrest HS), Katie Quilty (Marston Mills/ Barnstable HS), Rebecca Schroder (South Windsor, Conn./South Windsor HS) and Claire Virkler (Clifton Park, N.Y./Shenendehowa HS).

Bentley has three games remaining with the season culminating Oct. 27 against New Haven.
