New girls-only sporting event on its way to Penn State Memorial Day weekend
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (WTAJ) — A new girls-only sporting event is coming to Happy Valley later this year.
The “See Her Win Festival” is scheduled for May 22 and 23 on Penn State’s main University Park campus. It will include various sports for girls to compete in, including:
Flag football
Field hockey
Lacrosse
Rugby
Wheelchair basketball
The Happy Valley Sports and Entertainment Alliance (HVSEA) describes the event as being “designed for middle school and high school athletes,” while also creating “opportunities for girls to compete, grow and lead both on and off the field.”
HVSEA Event Manager Meghan Boyle says the idea came from looking at low occupancy rates during Memorial Day weekend.
