STANDISH, ME - The women's basketball game versus Mount Ida
College, scheduled to be played at the Harold Alfond Center on
February 20th, has been cancelled. Saint Joseph's will be credited
with a conference-forfeit victory, as Mount Ida's campaign
prematurely came to a close earlier this month.
For the women's basketball team, the game against Mount Ida was
to be the final regular-season home contest of the season, and the
final regular-season home game for seniors Allison Miner (Pembroke,
NH), Carolyn Freeman (Scarborough, ME/McAuley) and Meghan Daigle.
With this change in schedule, the senior trio will be honored prior
to the men's game, which has been moved up to 1:00 PM, on the same
date.
Also, the Mount Ida contest was designated as the Monks' annual
"Pink Zone" game, which is a Women's Basketball Coaches Association
initiative for breast cancer awareness. As a result of the
cancellation, the men's game on the same date will sponsor the
cause and all gate proceeds from the contest will be donated to the
charity.
