#AztecWBB to Celebrate Girls & Women in Sports Day
The event takes place on Saturday, January 30.
Come out and join the San Diego State University women's basketball team in celebrating National Girls and Women in Sports Day when the Aztecs square off against UNLV on Saturday, Jan. 30, at Steve Fisher Court Viejas Arena.
For the ninth straight year, the event will be held in partnership with the San Diego County Office of Education and will give fans the opportunity to meet and greet student-athletes from several of SDSU's 12 women's athletic programs. Patrons will also have the opportunity to register for the chance to win a free basketball signed by the Aztec women’s basketball team.
The concourse outside of the arena will open at 12:30 p.m. and will include special pre-game activities, followed by the SDSU-UNLV clash at 2 p.m. The Aztec women's basketball squad will also remain on hand to autograph free posters after the game.

National Girls and Women in Sports Day celebrates female athletic achievement and recognizes the importance of sports and fitness preparation for all girls and women. The day was named in honor of former Olympic volleyball player Flo Hyman, who died in 1986 of Marfan's Syndrome.
