USC Aiken Women’s Basketball to Hold Annual Pink Zone Game on Feb. 7

AIKEN, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken women's basketball team will hold its annual Pink Zone game as part of the men's and women's basketball doubleheader against Flagler on Monday, Feb. 7 at the Convocation Center.

USC Aiken women's basketball is encouraging any survivors or family members of breast cancer survivors in the USC Aiken system to be honored during the women's basketball game that evening.

The action on Feb. 7 gets underway with the nationally 18th-ranked USC Aiken women hitting the court against the Flagler women at 5:30 p.m. Immediately following the women's game at approximately 7:30 p.m. the Pacer men will battle the Flagler men.

Over the past four years, the WBCA Pink Zone initiative has raised a phenomenal amount of awareness for breast cancer, as well as a significant amount of donations for women's cancer research.
