MILWAUKEE - Marquette University head women's basketball coach Terri Mitchell will throw the Ceremonial First Pitch prior to the Milwaukee Brewers versus Minnesota Twins game on Sunday, June 15 at 1:05 p.m., at Miller Park.

The Golden Eagles will also be recognized on the field prior to the game for capturing the 2008 Women's National Invitation Tournament Championship, the school's fourth national title and first since 1977.

Mitchell, who finished her 12th season as head coach, led the Golden Eagles to their first ever WNIT Championship with an 81-66 win at Michigan State. Marquette finished the season with a 21-14 overall record that was capped by a season-high five game win streak during its run to the WNIT Championship.

Mitchell recently began her first assignment with USA Basketball as an assistant coach for the Women's U18 National Team on June 9 as the team selection process commenced at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
