Drake Women’s Basketball took home a special win in the Feb. 12 “Pink Out” game against Southern Illinois University.
“A win always feels great, but when the focus is on something way bigger than basketball it makes that win even more special,” said senior basketball player Mya Mertz. “Pink games are my favorite games because the atmosphere of the Knapp Center is so cool. Everybody is there for a bigger reason and seeing that many people come together to honor and show love to these fighters is amazing.”
The “Pink Out” game honors breast cancer survivors, those who are currently battling breast cancer and those who have passed away from breast cancer.
