Fans and parents showed up to the game wearing pink to honor those who have had breast cancer and for those who have lost the battle.

Students had the opportunity to donate money at the front table and purchase raffle tickets, all of which went towards the Sideout Foundation, originators of the Dig Pink campaign.

Each Moorpark athlete had a flower that represented a survivor or a loved one who passed and they handed each flower to the families that have fought with cancer. 

Moorpark’s Erica Smith, #3, has fought against cancer for thirteenyears. She had gone through chemo and blood transfusions, as well as losing her hair three times. Today, she is cancer free.

“It was awesome to see all the people dressed in pink and all the money that we raised today for breast cancer,” said Smith.

Moorpark started on a strong note, opening the game up to a 4-0 lead, forcing the Bulldogs call a quick timeout.

Karissa Flack, #14, came out aggressive, with 3 kills in a row for the Lady Raiders early on.

“I wanted to stay aggressive and put them away early,” said Flack.

The Raiders were too much for the Bulldogs in the first game, resulting in Moorpark winning 25-16.

Flack continued her dominance in game two, overpowering the Bulldogs.

The Raiders continued their dominant play in the second game and opened with a 9-4 lead causing the Bulldogs to call another timeout.

Allan Hancock came out looking like a different team, cutting the lead to 3 points with the score 12-9. The Bulldogs put up a fight, but it wasn’t enough as the Raiders won the second game 25-17, Raiders. 

After the game Howard Davis, athletic director, announced that over $1,200 was raised for the fight against breast cancer.

“It was unbelievable,” said Davis. “Especially since we have a cancer survivor on our team, it was really special.”

Moorpark swept Allan Hancock three games to zero. The Lady Raiders aspire to continue their winning streak as they host Santa Barbara this Friday, which will be one of the biggest games of their year.
