A special day honoring moms


The State University of New York at Binghamton women's basketball team recently took a moment to honor role models who both inspired and supported them -- their mothers. Before a February 3 game against State University of New York at Stony Brook, the players greeted their moms at courtside with roses and hugs in celebration of National Girls and Women in Sports Day. Shown is senior guard Maryanne Prendergast, who presented her mom, Kathy, with a rose. In the background, sophomore guard Bess Greenberg embraces her mother, Stacey.
