Black Bears to celebrate girls, women in sports Feb. 25
National Girls and Women in Sports Day was Feb. 7 and throughout the month, the University of Maine has celebrated athletic achievements of women and girls.
On Sunday, Feb. 25, the Black Bears will host a National Girls and Women in Sports Day Celebration at the Cross Insurance Center before the women’s basketball game with the University of Albany.
Those with game tickets are invited to have their photograph taken with Black Bear squads 11–11:45 a.m. then take part in an interactive sports fair. At 1 p.m., the Black Bears tip off with the Great Danes. The contest — the annual Play4Kay Pink Game — is a fundraiser to support the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
