Pink Zone Game




On February 14, 2009, the Oberlin women's basketball team participated in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association Pink Zone initiative. In the week leading up to the game, the players solicited donations for pink bracelets with the proceeds being donated to breast cancer research. In addition, our team wore specially made pink uniforms for the game versus Hiram College. In the end, the Yeowomen were able to raise more than $900.00 for the Susan G. Komen foundation.

Saying Good-Bye to our Seniors



Today was bittersweet. Coach Crayton and I attended the graduation ceremonies for our departing seniors. The weather was great and the ceremony went off without a hitch. It was a proud moment to watch our seniors partake in their last official Oberlin enterprise. However, with that pride in our seniors came a disappointment that their playing careers are now officially over. They will always be members of our team and our extended Oberlin family. We wish them well in all of their future endeavors. So it is with a combination of happiness and sadness that we say good-bye to Kira Rivera, Mandi VanAllen, January Baker and Alyssa Clark. Don't be strangers. You will be missed.
