BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Bowling Green State University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has set up the Leslie Ann Dawley Memorial Fund. This special fund has been created to honor the memory of the BGSU women's soccer freshman midfielder from Westerville (Thomas Worthington HS) who collapsed early in the first half of last Tuesday's (Nov. 5) Mid-American Conference Tournament quarterfinal match against Buffalo and later passed away.

Contributions will be used toward the establishment of a memorial in Dawley's honor. Individuals interested in making a contribution to the fund can send a check, made out to the "BGSU Foundation" to BGSU women's soccer coach Andy Richards at the following address:

Please make mention of the "Leslie Ann Dawley Memorial Fund" in the memo section of the check. For more information, please contact the BGSU women's soccer office at (419) 372-9602.
