Women's Network and Friends Day at Bender

Join the AU Women's Network for an afternoon at Bender Arena as we celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Day. We will cheer on the AU Women’s Basketball team as they play against the Navy.
 
National Girls and Women in Sports Day is celebrated in all states with community-based events, award ceremonies, and activities honoring the achievements and encouraging participation of girls and women in sports. NGWSD began in 1987 as a day to remember Olympian volleyball player Flo Hyman for her athletic achievements and her work to assure equality for women's sports.
 
Following the January 28, 2023 game vs. Navy, the Eagles invite kids of all ages in attendance to join AU's seven varsity women's teams -- basketball, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, volleyball, swimming and diving, track and cross country (teams subject to change based on competition schedules) -- along with the wrestling, cheer, and dance teams for free skills clinics and an autograph session in Bender Arena. (Clinic will take place from approximately 4pm to 5pm).
