GREELEY, Colo. – Northern Colorado women's basketball celebrated the grand unveiling of its newly renovated locker room on Tuesday, February 24, highlighting a significant step forward in the program's commitment to excellence, student-athlete development, and Bear pride.
The upgraded space showcases custom-designed lockers, enhanced lighting, modern technology improvements, and bold team branding throughout. Every detail reflects the program's ongoing dedication to providing a premier experience for its student-athletes.
Made possible through the generosity of dedicated donors, the renovation blends tradition with innovation while strengthening the program's identity and culture. The locker room will serve as a vital gathering place for team meetings, game preparation, and post game reflection.
"The standard inside this locker room matches the standard we expect on the court. Player wellness and the overall student-athlete experience drove every decision in this project. From fueling and recovery to team connection, our student-athletes sacrifice so much to represent UNC at a high level, and we wanted to give them a space that pours back into them every single day. This locker room exists because people believe in our student-athletes and believe in UNC Women's Basketball. Seeing the players reactions as they walked into the locker room and lounge area for the first time reminded us why we do this. Watching them feel valued and celebrated was the best part of the entire project. We're building something special at UNC, and this space reflects how serious we are about women's basketball and competing for Big Sky Championships. We are incredibly thankful to the donors and supporters whose generosity made this transformational project possible and continues to shape the future of UNC Women's Basketball." stated Head Coach Kristen Mattio.
Players experienced the transformed space for the first time during a special reveal event on Tuesday, reacting with overwhelming excitement and pride as they stepped into their new home.
