ANGOLA, Ind. -- Trine University will offer free admission for all fans at the Free-for-All basketball doubleheader scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 14.
In addition to free admission, the first 500 fans in attendance at the Free-for-All will receive free Trine University hats. The first 250 fans will also receive free stadium cushions. All fans can participate in a half-court shootout for a $200 prize following the conclusion of the doubleheader. The first fan to sink the half-court shot wins the prize.
The doubleheader tips off at 1 p.m. with a MIAA contest between the Thunder women and Alma. With a 12-1 record, the women's team is off to its best start in school history. Trine owns an 11-game winning streak, the third-longest in program history.
