UMaine celebrates girls, women in sports, WABI reports
WABI (Channel 5) reported on the University of Maine’s celebration of females in sports. The Black Bears hosted 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. Attendees were invited to take pictures with the Black Bears and take part in an interactive sports fair. The goal of the day was to recognize female athletes and their influence in sport, WABI reported. “It’s something that we hope resonates with everybody and that somebody that maybe hasn’t found their niche finds it here today. And that they find something they know they can participate in and they look forward to and they have an avenue to pursue it after today,” said Richard Barron, head coach of the UMaine women’s basketball team.
