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.
