Important Hotel Update - Girls Championship weekend
Attention all teams planning to compete at State on the Girls Championship weekend of March 17-19, 2023:
Due to a recently announced Bruce Springsteen concert at the Bryce Jordan Center on Saturday, March 18th, there will be limited hotel rooms available in State College. Therefore, we strongly recommend that your team book its hotel rooms via our hotel provider, Event Connect, as soon as possible.
This season, all girls teams should book their rooms before officially qualifying for State. If you book a room and your team does not qualify for State, then Event Connect will refund any room deposits paid on its website.
