BRAINTREE - Some of the nation's top collegiate lacrosse players will be in town Oct. 11 for the second annual Catamount Classic tournament.
In addition to off-season games featuring 11 college teams, the event is designed to raise awareness of testicular cancer and proceeds from the event will go toward research toward a cure at Dana-Farber Cancer Center in Boston.
Kelly Curtis, the wife of University of Vermont men's lacrosse coach Ryan Curtis, said the team adopted the fight against testicular cancer as its cause when a former player was diagnosed with the disease two years ago. He made a complete recovery in time to play the next season, she said.
"It really shook the team up," said Kelly Curtis, who is organizing the event with her husband. "At 18 to 21 years old, you really think you're invincible."
