UCF to Dedicate Friday's Match to Local High School
Standout Breanna McMahon
Freedom High School player suffered a serious injury in late September.
Oct. 7, 2009
 ORLANDO,
Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - The No. 16 UCF women's soccer team may have a very
crucial match Friday night at the UCF Soccer Complex, but there will be an
even more important event that night as well. The Knights will be dedicating
the evening to Freedom High School soccer player Breanna McMahon, who was
seriously injured in late September in a fundraiser for her club team, FC
America U-18 Kumba.
McMahon was helping her team raise money by washing cars when a driver
accidently stepped on the gas, pinning her against a wall. The injuries were
so severe that her left leg had to be amputated and she is still listed in
critical condition.
A goalkeeper who attended a UCF camp in 2007, McMahon will be on the
minds of all of the Knights when they host UTEP Friday at 7 p.m. as they
will be wearing red wristbands, the primary color of FC America.
While admission is free, fans are encouraged to provide donations at the
field to help the McMahon family. All proceeds will go into a trust account
set up at Old Southern Bank. If you cannot make it to the game, you may call
407-420-3900 for more information on how to donate.
