PORT ANGELES — The night before both No. 1-ranked Peninsula College soccer squads take the home field in their NWAACC quarterfinal playoff matches, the Pirate men’s and women’s basketball programs officially tip off their seasons with Pirate Madness.
The madness begins on the Pirates’ newly refinished basketball court at 5:30 p.m. Friday night, Nov. 9.
The night will be highlighted by team introductions, both men’s and women’s black-and-gold scrimmages, 3-point competitions and a slam dunk contest.
Additionally, the Pirate Athletic Association is sponsoring a “Books for a Quarter” half-court shot for three lucky student fans.
If the selected student makes the half-court shot, he or she will receive a $250 gift certificate to The Bookaneer.
The men, who are coming off 25 wins and a Final Four finish, have 13 new faces to introduce.
While the women, who are coming off their first berth into the NWAACC championships since 2009, have most of their core back from last season plus a few key additions to push them into NWAACC title contention.
This also will be an opportunity for Peninsula College fans to get up close and personal with the men’s and women’s soccer teams just prior to their assault on the NWAACC championships as the soccer athletes and efforts are recognized.
“Admission is free, and we encourage all to attend and support Peninsula College athletics as this will be a night of recognition, entertainment, and fun,” men’s basketball coach Lance Von Vogt said.
The home playoff soccer matches will be held Nov. 10 at 11 a.m. for the women and 1 p.m. for the men.
