Rescheduled - Lady Statesmen Basketball vs. Univeristy of West Alabama
2014-01-30 17:30 - 19:30 | Walter Sillers Coliseum
CLEVELAND, Miss. – Winter Storm Leon reared its ugly head this week depositing freezing rain and snow across much of the deep south. With snow and ice accumulations hampering travel in and out of parts of Alabama and Mississippi, Delta State University director of athletics Ronnie Mayers announced that Thurday’s men’s and women’s basketball games have been moved to Monday, Feb. 3 with tipoff times set for 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
“After consulting with the administration at the University of West Alabama, we knew that they would have a hard time getting out of Livingston today,” Mayers said. “We always want to err on the side of caution when we are talking about student-athlete safety. We hope everyone will be able to adjust their schedules and come support the Statesmen and Lady Statesmen on Monday night.”
Saturday’s schedule versus the University of Alabama in Huntsville has not been affected. The No. 11 ranked Lady Statesmen (14-2, 9-1 GSC) tipoff versus the Lady Chargers at 2 p.m. followed by the No. 15 ranked Statesmen (16-2, 9-1 GSC) versus the Chargers at 4 p.m. inside Walter Sillers Coliseum.

Walks for Wishes Campaign
2014-03-08 | Ferris Field & University Field
Delta State Athletics will host the 1st Annual Walks for Wishes Weekend at our home Baseball and Softball games the weekend of March 8-9. This will allow us to collect pledges and/or donations to give even more to Make-A-Wish and hopefully to reach our goal of $5,000 contributed! The minimum amount that can be pledged is $0.25 per walk. From there, the amount donated will depend upon how many total “walks” the Statesman Baseball and Lady Statesman Softball teams draw in all six games. At the conclusion of the series, pledge payments will be calculated and collected. The opponent for the weekend will be Christian Brothers University. For a general idea on walks earned in a weekend series, Baseball and Softball combined for 29 walks in last year’s series vs. Christian Brothers. 29 walks X’s a minimum of $0.25 per walk equals a $7.25 donation to Make-A-Wish. ALL FUNDS RAISED WILL BENEFIT THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION. Please stop by the Compliance office in Chadwick-Dickson to collect your pledge forms ASAP! Or print and return the attached form to the Athletics Office no later than Friday March 7th. MAKE ALL CHECKS PAYABLE TO MAKE-A-WISH!
