RINDGE, N.H. (September 1, 2009) – The
Franklin Pierce University Department of Athletics, in conjunction
with B.R.O. and the Sports and Recreation Club, will host Pierce
Pride Kickoff 2009, its first Pierce Pride event of the 2009-10
year, on Friday, Sept. 4 at Sodexo Field as part of the men’s
and women’s soccer games that evening. The night will be
capped with a fireworks display, courtesy of Atlas
Pyrotechnics.
Both Franklin Pierce’s men’s and women’s soccer
teams will host games on Friday evening. At 4 p.m., the No. 11
nationally ranked women’s team holds its home opener against
Florida Southern. At 7 p.m., the No. 16 men’s team hosts
Bridgeport as part of the Franklin Pierce Labor Day Classic, which
will also feature a game between Molloy and Bentley at 1 p.m.
Prizes, giveaways, promotions and more will take place throughout
the day. Various Franklin Pierce administration, staff and faculty
members are scheduled to appear in a dunk tank throughout the
evening. The fireworks display will commence following the
conclusion of the Franklin Pierce men’s soccer game.
Entering its second year, the "Pierce Pride" program is an effort
by the Department of Athletics to foster campus- and community-wide
support for both Athletics and Franklin Pierce University as a
whole. The program seeks to help connect the campus and the
community with the university's 17 intercollegiate athletics
programs and, in turn, allow the athletics programs to give back to
the community.
