BOWLING GREEN, KY. - The Western Kentucky University softball team hosted its first Topper Fall Classic on Saturday, October 1 at the WKU Softball Complex. The Lady Toppers took on not only Alabama and Murray State, but the cause of collecting canned goods for those in need.
"Thanks to a great effort from our fans, we collected 210 cans for the North American Food Drive," said head coach Tyra Perry.
"I love that WKU softball participated in the food drive," added sophomore pitcher Brittanie Albright. "I think everyone should be a part of this. Helping out people in the community is truly special and meaningful."
