Last Call for Lifka

SWEET BRIAR, Va. --- Senior Ali Lifka (Arden, N.C./T.C. Roberson) and the Vixen Soccer team hit the pitch for the season's last home stand this week.  On Thursday, October 18 Sweet Briar hosts Roanoke College and on Saturday, October 20, the Vixen side entertains Guilford College.  Saturday's game is part of the campus Homecoming/Families Weekend schedule of events.  

Roanoke rolls onto campus on the heels of two double-overtime contests while Sweet Briar enters the match looking to recover from Saturday's two-goal differential at Hollins.

On Saturday, October 20 prior to the match with Guilford College, SBC will celebrate the team's lone senior, Ali Lifka.  To date, the defender has played in fifty-two contests while wearing the SBC pink and green and for her career, Lifka has collected 10 points on five goals scored.

Fellow Vixen defender Jacquelyne Bullet (Ashburn, Va. / Broad Run) shares thought on playing the final home games of the 2012 season. 

In addition to senior day ceremonies during Homecoming/Families Weekend, Vixen Athletics also celebrates the induction of a fourth class into the Athletics and Riding Hall of Fame.  Four alumnae make up the Class of 2012, which includes former tennis player Mary Pope Hutson '83, field hockey and lacrosse player Sally True Dow-Datilio '80 and two riders, Dianne Yaeger Rankin '66 and Janet Hamilburg Chruchill '53.  A complete schedule of events is available online.
