WNC Takes Over Tahoe Blue Events Center
Mar 16, 2026

WNC President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe and VP Coral Lopez led a number of attendees who supported WNC Foundation's Takeover Night at the Tahoe Blue Events Center on Friday in Stateline.
Western Nevada College students, faculty, staff and families filled the stands Friday
night at the Tahoe Blue Events Center to cheer on the Tahoe Knight Monsters — and
support WNC at the same time.Thanks to the event, a portion of ticket sales was donated to the WNC Foundation,
helping support students and programs across our campuses.
Fans were treated to an exciting matchup as league leader Kansas City edged the Knight
Monsters in a thrilling 6–5 game. WNC spirit was strong in the crowd, with President
Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe, Chief Advancement Officer and Foundation Executive Director Niki
Gladys, Vice President Coral Lopez, student government leaders and Foundation board
members all cheering on the home team.
One of the night’s biggest highlights! WNC representatives riding around the ice in
the Knight Monsters’ Thermal Technology vehicle between periods, firing up the crowd
and showing their Wildcat pride!
A big thank you to everyone who came out for a fun night of hockey while supporting
WNC students.
