Mercy College SAAC Holds Charity Volleyball Match to Benefit Kay Yow Breast Cancer Fund

DOBBS FERRY, NY - The Mercy College Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) held a charity volleyball match with all proceeds benefiting the Kay Yow Breast Cancer Fund on Tuesday evening.

The two teams played the best of five sets to 15 points each. "Going Green" defeated "The Justice League" in four sets in a battle of efficient energy versus super powers.

The members of "Going Green" were: Shedeiky Hamilton, Mirlusca Montes, John Ceravino, Raldino Powell, Camelle Barette, Hugo Bernal, and Lisa Mills.

"The Justice League's" members were: Stephen Marsar as Batman, Justin McMullen as Flash, Bridgette Pennelle as Cat Woman, Ashley Zufelt as Wonder Woman, Earl Pommills as Super Earl, and Luka Trekman as The Green Lantern.

"Going Green" took the first set 15-9 and appeared to be the dominant team. However, "The Justice League" tied the match at one with a 15-12 win highlighted by several strong kills by Super Earl Pommills.

"Going Green" regained its momentum taking the final two sets by a score of 15-8, 15-11. The two squads helped raise a substantial amount for the Kay Yow Breast Cancer Fund.

"Beyond the dollars raised, our local education component informed many people about the nature of the disease and its impact on life," SAAC advisor Dr. Darryl Bullock said.

The Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund is the Women's Basketball Coaches Association charity of choice in partnership with The V Foundation. To make a contribution, visit www.jimmyv.org or call 1-800-4JimmyV.
