WORCESTER, Mass. – The Worcester State University women's basketball team hosted their eighth annual "Math Madness" event this afternoon at the Harrington Auditorium on the campus of WPI.

The women's basketball team matched up against the Owls of Keene State College in a non-conference game at 12 p.m. noon. The event allowed local children in the Worcester area an opportunity to enhance their math skills through basketball.

Students from the May Street School and Chandler Magnet School attended the fun-filled event designed to offer students the opportunity to answer questions from grade appropriate math packets.

The questions engaged the students in solving problems related to player's statistics, scores, averages, court dimensions, and other math equations.

Immediately following the conclusion of the contest, both women's basketball teams had an autograph session where the students met with both of the teams.
