UK will also be celebrating National Girls and Women in Sports Day as well as Alumni Day on Sunday against Vanderbilt.

Proclaimed a national day each year since 1987 by Congress, National Girls and Women in Sports Day recognizes the progress of girls and women in sports and the benefits that sports and fitness activities can bring the lives of all girls and women.

In celebration of National Girls and Women in Sports Day, UK will honor Ceal Barry with the third annual Susan B. Feamster Trailblazer Award at halftime.

Barry was a four-year letterwinner at Kentucky under coach Debbie Yow from 1974-77. After graduation, she spent four seasons as head coach at Cincinnati and 22 seasons at the helm of the Colorado women’s basketball program before retiring in 2005. She now serves as the associate athletics director for academics/student services at CU.

UK will also host an alumni game Sunday at noon, which will feature former players like Sara Potts, Chelsea Chowning and Samantha Mahoney. Admission is free.
