MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Several promotions will be taking place at the WVU Coliseum when the No.11/11-ranked Mountaineer women’s basketball team (20-3, 9-1) takes on DePaul (16-7, 5-5) Saturday, Feb. 16, at 2 p.m., at the WVU Coliseum.
The Mountaineers will be participating in the Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Association’s “Think Pink” initiative to raise breast cancer awareness. Fans attending the contest are encouraged to wear pink. WVU is partnering with the Mary Babb Randolph Breast Cancer Center for this initiative and will be honoring Betty Puskar at halftime of the contest. Fans who are breast cancer survivors or are battling the disease will also be recognized during halftime.
The Dominion Post will be including two free tickets to the contest in every edition of its Friday, Feb. 15, paper. The Dominion Post will be donating 25 cents for every ticket redeemed to the Mary Babb Randolph Breast Cancer Center.
West Virginia is also taking part in the NCAA’s “Pack the House” initiative and is attempting to break the WVU Coliseum women’s basketball attendance record.
National Girls and Women in Sports Day will also be held with the first 100 girls under the age of 13 receiving a free poster from that organization.
All concessions for the game, Coca-Cola products, hot dogs and popcorn, will be sold for just $1.
It is also Dairy Mart Dollar Day. Stop by your local Dairy Mart and pick up a $1 coupon, which can be redeemed at the gate for a $1 general admission ticket.
