Lycoming vs. Mount Aloysius Volleyball Match Kicks Off Sideline Cancer’s Fall Season

The Fall 2025 Sideline Cancer season started with excitement, energy, and purpose as Lycoming College hosted Mount Aloysius College for the 3rd Annual Sideline Cancer Women’s Volleyball Match.

For the past three years, these two programs have come together to make their rivalry about more than just volleyball—it’s about uniting their teams, schools, and communities in the fight against cancer.

This year’s game was played in support of Jared Skeith, whose daughter is a freshman on the Lycoming College volleyball team. Sideline Cancer merchandise was available at the match, with $5 from every item sold and 100% of all donations going directly to Jared as he continues his battle against cancer.

The match itself was packed with energy from the first serve. After two years of five-set thrillers where Lycoming pulled out the win, Mount Aloysius entered the gym determined to flip the script. And flip it they did—Mount Aloysius came out on fire and never looked back, defeating Lycoming in straight sets. With this victory, Mount Aloysius claimed their very first I Can Cup, narrowing Lycoming’s series lead to 2-1.

Beyond the scoreboard, the event was a success in its true purpose: raising funds and awareness. Together, the teams and their communities raised $800 to support Jared and his family.

Events like this show the power of sports to bring people together, create impact, and spread the Sideline Cancer message of Believe Always and I Can.
