“On Feb. 3, we wear pink.”
That motto was echoed through fans and athletes alike on Saturday, with Penn State’s largest crowd of the season — 4,745 fans — repping pink clothes for the Lady Lions’ annual “Pink Zone” game in support of breast cancer awareness.
While the Lady Lions fell to Michigan 80-75, Saturday was about more than just basketball at the Bryce Jordan Center; it was about honoring the 42,500 individuals who die of breast cancer each year, according to the CDC, and the many survivors who conquer the life-threatening disease.
“It’s a huge game to play in front of so many strong women like that,” redshirt junior guard Leilani Kapinus said. “You just want to show half the amount of strength and grit that they had and make them proud.”
