“Code Red” Night Benefit For Erin Dallas

From Stuart Kaufman, Sports Information: On Tuesday, February 10, the Keene community will be rooting for the Owls basketball teams and also supporting KSC field hockey player Erin Dallas, a junior from Marlow, N.H. Both women’s and men’s games against rival Plymouth State, scheduled for 5:30 and 7:30 p.m., respectively, will be a benefit to support Dallas’ medical expenses.

Dallas, a two-time All-American, suffered a knee injury during the season and developed a post-surgical infection following ACL knee surgery in December. Since that time, she has been hospitalized and has had multiple operations. In lieu of tickets, fans will be asked for donations, at the minimum of the ticket value, 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 (SAAC) will be handing out “Code Red” T-shirts.

Encouraging all Owl fans to wear red at Tuesday’s hoop double-header, the Owls will be looking to greet the rival Panthers with a sea of red when they take the court at Spaulding Gym. The event is sponsored by the President’s office, the Lloyd P. Young Student Center, the KSC Health and Wellness department, the KSC athletic department, and the Owl men’s and women’s basketball teams.
