The university community is invited to a full evening of activities and celebrations when the men’s and women’s basketball teams host their final regular-season home games against county rival Linfield this Friday, Feb. 17, in Miller Gymnasium.
Among the various events planned around the games will be a celebration of National Girls and Women in Sports Day; an introduction of all senior women student-athletes, student athletic trainers and cheerleaders; “Pink Zone†activities for breast cancer awareness and research; the recognition of George Fox’s 2010-11 Northwest Conference team championships; and pregame ceremonies to acknowledge the careers of the basketball teams’ graduating seniors.
The women’s game tips off at 6 p.m., followed by the men’s game at 8 p.m. The women are currently 23-0 overall, ranked No. 3 in the nation, and have clinched a share of their sixth straight Northwest Conference crown and home-court advantage for all NWC Tournament games. The George Fox men are 11-12 overall but fourth in the conference at 8-6 and fighting for one of the four playoff spots in the NWC Tournament.
