Celebrating "girl power"

Members of the Women's Soccer team volunteered at the 10th Annual Girls on the Run 5k at Toyota Park in Chicago on Saturday, November 14. Activities included cheering on participants, face paining, hair decorating and making tiaras. The highlight of the event was cheering on the 1st Annual Lil' Sparks Sprints for girls ages 2-7.
