Lady Seahawks put on the pink to support Kay Yow Cancer Fund

It was a sea of pink at Sunday’s UNC-Wilmington women’s basketball game against Hofstra.

Both teams donned as much pink as possible in support of breast cancer research. Proceeds from the game will support the Kay Yow Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Cancer Fund.

The longtime NC State women’s basketball coach died last month after a 22-year battle with breast cancer.

Fans who wore pink to Trask Coliseum were admitted to the game for just two dollars. Fans also had the opportunity to purchase pink wrist bands, pink head bands and pink megaphones.

The Lady Seahawks, by the way, won the game 72-62.
