## Caption

You might've seen us in these super special warmup shirts the past couple of weeks... 💙➡️

We wear blue for a member of our CMU Field Hockey family, Rika Potgieter, a supportive, kind, selfless and incredibly strong woman who is fighting against colon cancer in her home country of South Africa. Her daughter, Simoné, wears #20 for CMU. 

We have dedicated this Friday's game against Miami (Ohio) to Colon Cancer Awareness and to Rika's fight. 

We ask that you please join us in giving her, Simoné and all of their loved ones your support by attending and wearing blue. 

Through the month of October, we are collecting donations for Rika and her medical expenses. 

We are with you, Rika, and we want to give you the endless support that you have shown our team and community! 

The link to support Rika is in our bio. 💙
