CONNOR SENN MEMORIAL MATCH SET FOR WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, AT OSU'S JESSE OWENS MEMORIAL STADIUM
The sixth annual Connor Senn Memorial Match between the Crew and Ohio State will be played on Wednesday, May 2, at 7 p.m., at Ohio State's Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children and can be purchased by calling 1-800-GO-BUCKS, visiting the OSU Athletic Ticket Office or at the stadium the day of the game. All proceeds will go to the Connor Senn Memorial Scholarship Fund, which has raised nearly $73,000 to date.
The Connor Senn Memorial Scholarship Fund annually awards two $500 scholarships to one male and one female high school senior soccer player. It was started by Dr. Lance Senn, Connor's father and a former member of the Ohio State tennis team. Connor collapsed during a game at Akron on Sept. 26, 2001 and died that night from a congenital heart defect. A native of Granville, Ohio, Connor was a freshman walk-on defender who had earned a starting position midway through the 2001 season. He saw action in eight of 10 matches, starting five of them.
The scholarship fund will become fully endowed once it reaches $100,000. Those wishing to make a contribution to the Connor Senn Memorial Scholarship Fund can do so by sending a check to Kristyn Carman, The Ohio State University, Gift Processing, The Fawcett Center, Room 709, 2400 Olentangy River Road, Columbus, OH 43210 (account #410775). Please include your name and address so you may receive documentation of your charitable contribution from OSU for your tax records.
