NEW ORLEANS - September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and beginning this Thursday and continuing through the weekend, Sun Belt Conference women’s soccer programs will wear specially designed warm up jerseys in support of Texas State head coach Kat Conner, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last year.
Conner has fought stage three ovarian cancer, undergoing many surgical procedures and seven months of chemotherapy in order to eradicate any remnants of the disease. Thankfully, she is now in remission.
The Sun Belt Conference women’s soccer programs stand in solidarity to spread awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer to all women.
