This is the kind of news I love to post about a football player...
And Congrats to 'Nova Coach Talley who started the program that helped match Szcur with this girl...most CAA teams take part in this worth while effort...
http://www.philly.com/inquirer/sports/2 ... arrow.htmlWhether he's on the football field or baseball diamond, Matt Szczur is seen as a game-saver by teammates.
When Villanova needs a timely hit or a clutch touchdown, the two-sport star almost always produces.
Now, the 5-foot-11, 195-pounder will arguably make the biggest contribution of his life.
Szczur, a wideout in football and outfielder/catcher in baseball, is preparing to become a bone-marrow donor. The junior learned three days ago that he was match for a 1-year-old girl who has leukemia. He did not comment; when and where the procedure will take place were not disclosed.
