DOMINICAN COLLEGE BASKETBALL TO HOLD 9TH ANNUAL SUE HELLER AND 23RD ANNUAL BOBBY MULLIGAN GAMES

Orangeburg, NY (2/3/10) The Dominican College women's and men's basketball teams will host the 9th Annual Sue Heller and 23rd Annual Bobby Muligan Memorial Games this coming Saturday, February 6th, against Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) opponent, Wilmington University.

Orangeburg, NY (2/3/10)  The Dominican College women's and men's basketball teams will host the 9th Annual Sue Heller and 23rd Annual Bobby Muligan Memorial Games this coming Saturday, February 6th, against Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) opponent, Wilmington University.

Sue Heller, the first Lady Charger to score 1,000 career points, passed away January 17, 2001.  In her honor, the 1,000 point club was renamed the Sue Heller 1,000 Point Club and one women's basketball game each year will be played in her memory.  A fierce competitor, Sue was extremely proud of her accomplishments at Dominican College, especially her 1998 induction into the Dominican College Hall of Fame.  In addition to her athletic success, she graduated in 1980 with a B.A. in psychology and certification in special education.  To perpetuate her legacy, The Sue Heller Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established at Dominican College.

Bobby Mulligan was a member of the Dominican College men's basketball team when he tragically passed away on August 30, 1987.  An accomplished player, Bobby was known for his competitiveness on the court.  Off the Court he was recognized as a loyal individual with exceptional perseverance.  Prior to the start of his senior year, Bobby had amassed 912 career points and would have assuredly reached the 1,000 point mark.  He was posthumously added to the list.  The Bobby Mulligan Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in his honor to benefit the student body.

Saturday will also be Dominican College Basketball Almuni Day at the Hennessy Center.  Alum of both the women's and men's basketball teams are invited to take part in the alumni games to be played that morning.  The women's alumni game will begin at 10 am and the men's game will be at 11am.

All are invited to stay for the Lady Chargers and Charger basketball games that will begin at 1pm and 3pm.
