MORGANTOWN, W.Va.  – The West Virginia University women's basketball team will host local middle and elementary schools for its nonconference game against Bryant on Nov. 15 as part of the program's first Education Day. Tipoff is set for 10 a.m. inside the WVU Coliseum.
 
Complimentary tickets will be provided to the students, staff and chaperones of attending schools. Students and chaperones are encouraged to bring their own brown bag lunch. Each school will have its own seating section at the WVU Coliseum and will be assigned a Mountaineer player. Players will be available for a meet and greet with their respective schools following the game.
 
Educational programming will be focused on staying active, healthy eating, and an overall healthy lifestyle. A pregame fair of educational booths and activity stations will be held on the concourse of the Coliseum prior to tipoff. In addition, students will receive WVU pencils and workbooks with in-game activities.
 
In conjunction with Education Day, West Virginia women's basketball will sponsor a reading contest for attending schools. Students will have an opportunity to win their classroom a $500 donation towards schools supplies by participating in the Read for the Mountaineers Education Day Contest.
