VERMILLION, S.D. – The Coyote women's basketball team is excited to host the second annual "Education Day Game" as the team takes on Air Force on Friday, November 7 at 11 a.m. in the Sanford Coyote Sports Center.

The event will welcome over 1,000 elementary and middle school students from the Vermillion area to the Sanford Coyote Sports Center at no cost. The students will be seated in sections 104-108. All ticket holders in those sections will be free to sit in any of the remaining sections.

"We are extremely excited to welcome elementary students from local and surrounding areas into the SCSC this upcoming season!" head women's basketball coach Carrie Eighmey said. "It's such a positive experience for everyone involved. The energy and enthusiasm our young Yote fans bring is incredible. It's also a great opportunity for our student-athletes to serve as role models and inspiration to young people in our community!"
