BOCA RATON, Fla. – Lynn University earned bragging rights when it created the 2017 South Florida Showdown, a nine-game series that challenged NCAA Division I teams to compete on the Fighting Knights’ home turf, and now they’re back at it again. Director of Athletics Devin Crosby today announced the adidas Challenge, a three-game blue-out on Nov. 15.
“The adidas Challenge will celebrate our 25 national championships and bring together the entire Lynn community,” said Crosby. “It will also highlight our longstanding partnership with adidas and their appreciation for elite athletic programs like the Fighting Knights.”
In honor of its 25 national championships, Lynn will give away 25 pairs of adidas Ultra Boost sneakers to 25 fans who sport Lynn Blue during the women’s basketball and volleyball home games on Friday, Nov. 15, at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Then, if the men’s basketball team wins its 8:30 p.m. game, fans will be eligible to purchase select adidas shoes for $25.
Lynn will also unveil the men’s golf 2019 national championship banner during halftime of the women’s basketball game, host a food festival from 5:15-6 p.m. and 7:45-8:30 p.m. and distribute 1,000 blue adidas shirts for a men’s basketball blue-out.
