HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. (January 31, 2012) – The Cyclones will host Breast Cancer Awareness Day on Wednesday, February 1st as both the men’s and women’s basketball teams will be in action against Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) opponents.

The men’s team, led by Head Coach Enrico Mastroianni, and the women’s team, with Head Coach Justin Phoenix will lead their squads onto the court wearing pink socks to raise awareness of the tragic disease. Fans planning on attending the games can join in support of the Cyclones efforts to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Day by wearing pink articles of clothing to the game. Fans can also make a donation at the door and receive a pink ribbon for their generosity.

According to the American Cancer Society, with the exception of skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. The chance of developing invasive breast cancer at some point in a woman’s life is less than 1 in 8 (12%). The ACS reports the chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman's death is about 1 in 36 (about 3%), however a promising trend recently shows death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990. These decreases are believed to be the result of earlier detection through screening and increased awareness, as well as improved treatment.

The Centenary College Athletic Department is once again pleased to support the cause of Breast Cancer Awareness and looks forward to a great showing of support from families and friends as well. The women’s game will tip off at 7 pm vs. Cedar Crest College, with the men’s game slated to start at 8 pm vs. Gwynedd-Mercy College.

The Cyclones will also be honoring the Fall CSAC Academic Teams during halftime of each game, with the men being honored during the women’s game and the women’s recognition during the men’s game.
