First-Ever “Mascot Night” To Take Place March 6 at the Upcoming ACC Women’s Tournament

Feb. 26, 2009

GREENSBORO, NC – The 2009 ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament will feature its first-ever “Mascot Night presented by Food Lion” on the final session of Friday, March 6.

Beginning at 5 p.m., the mascots from each of the 12 ACC institutions will be on hand at the Greensboro Coliseum to greet and interact with patrons, pose for photos, hand out stickers and posters and bring family fun to those in attendance for Session III (6 & 8 pm games) of the Tournament.

“We think that Friday night will be a great way for families to come and enjoy some of the best women’s basketball in the country as well as take pictures with their favorite mascots,” said ACC Associate Commissioner Nora Lynn Finch. “And have you ever met someone who didn’t like mascots?”
