The undefeated Cal State East Bay men's basketball team, ranked No. 5 in the country, and other highly ranked Pioneer teams will be among those featured at the Feb. 2 lunch meeting of the Hayward Rotary Club at 1074 B St.
Hayward Rotarian Alison Kern, athletic director at Cal State East Bay, reported that Pioneer Athletics has four teams ranked nationally this season for the first time in CSUEB history. Men's team basketball coach Bryan Rooney will be on hand to speak.
