The Lady Rockets had their Pink Out game on October 5 against Valmeyer and managed to battle a win in 3 sets. This year, the money raised went to Cassie Luecking (ovarian), Andrea Moeller (breast), and Jenna Switala (uterine).  Money was raised by the selling of Pink Out t-shirts, raffle tickets, and donations.  Along with Pink Out night, the Lady Rockets are also wearing their pink jerseys the whole month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
