The 2018 Winter White Out event between the PSU-LV women’s and men’s basketball games will be held Saturday, Feb. 3, at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem.
“This is a great opportunity for community members and families to come out to support our basketball teams and show their Penn State pride while enjoying a unique family friendly courtside experience between the games,” said Rich Fatzinger, athletic director at Penn State Lehigh Valley. “Something new we will have this year is at the halftimes of each game the Emmaus Youth Association third and fourth grade basketball teams will play a mini game. This is a chance for young players to experience playing in a big arena.”
