Keene State to Honor Women's Basketball Players
Keene, N.H. - 1/7/2010. Keene State College will be commemorating its 40th year of sponsoring women’s basketball on Saturday, January 23, at Spaulding Gym, when the Owls host the Beacons of UMass-Boston.
The College is extending a special invitation to women’s basketball players, coaches, and staff who contributed to the growth of the program. Players and coaches will be introduced at halftime of the women’s game and be invited to a post-game social at the Night Owl Café.
“I’m really looking forward to the event,” said long-time KSC women’s basketball coach Keith Boucher. “I think it’s very important for our current team members to meet the players who were the foundation of the program. These players not only left their mark on the court, but continue to be strong ambassadors for the College.”
Women’s basketball has a long and rich tradition at Keene State College. From the first baskets of Red & White games and play days to AIAW and NCAA competition in the New England Collegiate and Little East conferences, women’s basketball has become a staple of the winter athletic scene at KSC.
Although they competed in different decades, all the players had several things in common: a passion for the game, the desire to improve, and the determination to be successful. We invite you to join us on Jan. 23 for a day that promises to be filled with memories, stories, and hoop hoopla.
