NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Southern Connecticut State University Athletic Department hosted its annual 'Girls and Women in Sport' Day on Saturday, as presented by the Connecticut Army National Guard. Nearly 150 youngsters took part in the festivities, which started with a series of clinics with Owls' coaches and nearly 150 student-athletes. The participants also enjoyed a complimentary lunch and a meet-and-greet and autograph session with SCSU student-athletes.

This event is just one example of many community outreach events that SCSU student-athletes will take part in as part of the Tim Greer Insurance Agency Community Service Cup.

Initiated in September, 2008, the 'Community Service Cup' program provides a competitive format that allows student-athletes to gain an enriched experience through engagement with the on-campus and local communities by supporting ventures of traditional citizens, campus community members and peer students and student-athletes. SCSU student-athletes volunteered more than 3,000 hours of their time to numerous outreach efforts, both on-campus and in Greater New Haven, during the 2012-13 academic year.
