Women's basketball to host Play 4 Kay game February 2

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The University of Evansville women's basketball team will host its annual Play 4 Kay game on February 2 at 7 p.m. when the Purple Aces host Indiana State inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

A head coach for 38 seasons at Elon and N.C. State, Kay Yow amassed 737 victories, five ACC regular season championships, and four ACC tournament titles. In early January of 2009, Yow took a leave of absence from coaching due to breast cancer. During the final stages of her battle with cancer, Coach Kay Yow had a vision to unite a nation of coaches, players, and the women's basketball community to do something for the greater good that far exceeds wins and losses on the court.
