Women's Basketball vs. #4 NC State Tip Time Set
2/19/2021 11:00:00 AM | Women's Basketball
The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that Syracuse's regular-season finale against #4 NC State will tip-off at 12 p.m. on ACC Network Sunday, Feb. 28.
The game will be both Senior Day and #Play4Kay at the Carrier Dome. Syracuse will recognize seniors Amaya Finklea-Guity and Maeva Djaldi-Tabdi before tip-off and both teams will wear pink uniforms during the game for breast cancer awareness.
The #Play4Kay game hits home for both programs. Syracuse point guard Tiana Mangakahia missed the 2019-20 season while battling Stage 2 breast cancer and former NC State head coach Kay Yow ignited the Play4Kay/breast cancer awareness game movement before losing her own battle with the disease in 2009.
What is Play4Kay?
Play4Kay is a national movement through the Kay Yow Cancer Fund focused on the fight against women's cancers. Former NC State head coach Kay Yow began the tradition in 2006 when one of NC State's home games each season would be dedicated to raising awareness and money for women's cancers. In 2009 Coach Yow lost her battle with stage 4 breast cancer but women's basketball teams across the country continue to honor her legacy each year with a Play4Kay game.Â

What is the Kay Yow Cancer Fund?
The Kay Yow Cancer Fund was officially founded on December 3, 2007, from the vision of Kay Yow, former NC State head women's basketball coach. Yow was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987 and passed away on January 24, 2009, after facing her third bout with the disease. Before her death, she joined forces with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and The V Foundation for Cancer Research to form the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization committed to being a part of finding an answer in the fight against women's cancers through raising money for scientific research, assisting the underserved, and unifying people for a common cause.
