Uniting players, coaches, officials, and fans to do something for the greater good that far exceeds wins and losses in competition, the Play4Kay initiative is the Kay Yow Cancer Foundation's largest fundraiser and plays a major role in the fight against cancer.

Senior Day: Prior to tipoff, a short ceremony will take place honoring lone senior Anna Felice and her contributions to Brockport women's basketball.
