National Girls and Women In Sports Day
Bookmark and Share
The William Smith College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will host its fifth annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) in Bristol Gym on Sat., Feb. 6 in conjunction with the Heron basketball game against Skidmore.

Prior to the 2 p.m. tipoff, there will be face painting for fans. During halftime, girls in eighth grade or younger will be invited to participate in relay races and a shooting contest. Following the game, girls will be given a tour of the Carver-DeLaney Basketball Team Room and have the opportunity to meet and get autographs from members of the Heron basketball team.

Girls in eighth grade or younger will also be given a coupon for one free bag of popcorn during the game.

NGWSD began in 1987 as a day to remember Olympic volleyball player Flo Hyman for her athletic achievements and her work to assure equality for women’s sports. Hyman died of Marfan’s Syndrome in 1986 while competing in a volleyball tournament in Japan. Since that time, NGWSD has evolved into a day to acknowledge the past and recognize current sports achievements, the positive influence of sports participation, and the continuing struggle for equality and access for women in sports.

Athletes of the Week
Abbie DiPalma
William Smith Rowing
DiPalma served as the coxswain for the William Smith varsity eight that finished second in the petite final at the ECAC Championships on Sunday. In their morning heat, the Herons committed a false start, but then turned in the third fastest time of the heats (out of 20 crews in three heats). William Smith covered the course in 6:59.640, then logged a time of 6:57.688 in the petite final, second only to Division I New Hampshire.
Kevin Curtin
Hobart Lacrosse
Facing the toughest defense in the nation, Curtin posted his third consecutive hat trick. He completed his collegiate career with a three-goal performance at Bryant on Thursday. The Bulldogs came into the contest allowing just 6.44 goals per game, but the Statesmen netted nine goals, the second highest total against Bryant this season. Curtin capped his career 11th in career goals and career points and 12th in career assists.
