BASKETBALL TEAMS TO “THINK PINK” VERSUS ADELPHI ON VALENTINE’S DAY

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. (Feb. 9, 2009) - The Molloy College men's and women's basketball teams will join the Women's Basketball Coaches Association on Saturday afternoon to help prompt its "Think Pink" initiative. The Lions will warm-up in pink T-shirts prior to their respective encounters against Adelphi University. The men are slated to start at 1 p.m. with the women to tip-off at 3:30 p.m.

The WBCA's "Think Pink" initiative is a global, unified effort for the WBCA's nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, and beyond. The week set aside for this year's initiative is February 8-17. However, many schools are taking part outside of that window due to scheduling conflicts.

T-shirts will also be sold to the fans at $5.00 apiece to help raise funds for the cause.
