Metropolitan State University of Denver faculty and staff are invited to take advantage of opportunities to show support for Roadrunners Athletics in the next week.

The MSU Denver women’s basketball team is looking to continue a late-season hot streak that has put it in strong position for the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament. The Roadrunners host Regis in a quarterfinal game at the Auraria Event Center at 7 tonight. Faculty and staff will be admitted free.

If you prefer to get outdoors, the MSU Denver softball team will have its Faculty & Staff Appreciation Day on March 12 in a 3 p.m. doubleheader against an excellent West Texas A&M team. As with basketball, faculty and staff will be admitted for free. A surprise guest will throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
