Women's volleyball vs. Wartburg College - Pumpkin Bash Tournament
The Augustana women's volleyball team will compete in the Pumpkin Bash Tournament Friday and Saturday.
The team will sponsor a weekend-long fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The fundraiser will consist of T-shirt sales, a bake sale and general donations.
The Pumpkin Bash will get underway on Friday with a 4 p.m. match between Augustana and Simpson. Following that match, Simpson will face Illinois College at 6 p.m. and Augustana will play Illinois College at 8 p.m.
Action resumes on Saturday with Illinois College facing Wartburg at 11 a.m. and the Vikings taking on Wartburg at 1 p.m.
At the 4 p.m. match on Friday, the honorary captain will be Grace Gustafson, a local junior high school student who has been at several Augustana volleyball camps and clinics. Gustafson currently serves as children’s congress delegate for J.D.R.F.
The Vikings also will have an honorary captain in the 8 p.m. match in the person of junior Emily Uglem. Gustafson and Uglem were picked as captains because both are victims of Juvenile Diabetes.
Saturday is Senior Day, and the Vikings will honor seniors Emily Westermeyer, Claire Martin, Maissie Musick, Kaycee Kallenberger and Peyton Achs at the 1 p.m. match.
