Tuesday night, Keene State men’s and women’s basketball teams will be playing rival Plymouth State. Both games will also serve as benefits to help with medical expenses for KSC field hockey player Erin Dallas, a junior from Marlow, N.H.

Dallas suffered a knee injury during the season and developed a post-surgical infection following ACL knee surgery in December. Since then, she has been hospitalized and has had multiple operations. In lieu of tickets, fans will be asked for donations, with all proceeds going to Dallas. In addition, the Keene State field hockey team will be sponsoring a 50-50 raffle and the student athletic activities committee will be handing out “Code Red” T-shirts.

Come join us in cheering on the teams — and Erin. Owls fans are encouraged to wear red to the games, which start at 5:30 (women’s) and 7:30 (men’s) at Spaulding Gym.

There’s more information on Tuesday night’s game in this week’s Campus News. And visit the KSC News & Events page to see how the fundraiser turned out. Were you there? What did you think?

For more of Erin’s story, there was an excellent feature on her, and another story on her field hockey season, in the Equinox last semester, before her surgery.
