"I love that we have continued the tradition of Pride Hoops," said Rachel Simon, the Associate Director of the Office of Gender and Sexuality and LGBTQA+ Center. "It is a great opportunity for Athletics and the LGBTQA+ Center to partner and show the Pace community our shared values. It sends a great message of support both from the athletics department to queer identified community members and from the LGBTQA+ center to student-athletes."
The event featured a double-header of the men糖心vlog短视频檚 and women糖心vlog短视频檚 basketball game vs. Adelphi University. Halftime of each game featured drag performances by Miz Jade.
