Valpo Women’s Basketball to Honor Women Athletes Feb. 1
The Valpo women’s basketball program is holding a Women in Sports Day to celebrate the 50-year anniversary of Title IX on Wednesday, Feb. 1 as the Beacons face UIC. As part of that, the program is looking to honor women athletes who played and/or coached high school, GAA or college basketball between 1969-79 with a pregame reception and a game ball presentation.
The pregame reception will take place at 5 p.m. and the game ball presentation at 5:50 p.m. prior to the 6 p.m. tipoff against the Flames. Any female athlete of the 1969-79 era interested in participating can contact women’s basketball director of operations Kaylin Speedy (219-464-6931; Kaylin.Speedy@valpo.edu), director of ticketing and promotions Erica Fedornock (219-464-5233; Erica.Fedornock@valpo.edu) or group sales ticket coordinator Renee’ Turpa (219-464-5112; Renee.Turpa@valpo.edu).
The Women in Sports Day will celebrate all eras of women’s athletics – the past, with the pregame recognition of the pioneers; the present, with the current Valpo student-athletes facing UIC; and the future, as halftime of that game will feature a Knockout contest between middle school athletes.
