"For our returning student-athletes, competing at The Palestra last season was an amazing experience. I am looking forward to seeing the faces of our newest players as they soak in the historic atmosphere of the arena before the game. It's a great opportunity for the entire team to create another shared memory with their teammates and coaches." -Head Coach, Veronica Nolt

Last year, Etown defeated Goucher in their Palestra debut, led by the single-game school and conference record breaking performance from three-point range by Cyleigh Wilson.

"We are honored to have the chance to return to The Palestra, a venue that holds such a significant place in college basketball history. It's a great opportunity for our team to experience the atmosphere and tradition that make the Palestra special." -Head Coach, Britt Moore.

The Blue Jays seek their first win there after being beaten by Juniata in the first year of play at the historic venue in 2022-23.

Known as the "Cathedral of College Basketball", The Palestra opened its doors in 1927, making it the oldest major college arena still in use today. It has hosted more games, more visiting teams, and more NCAA tournaments than any other facility of its kind.
