THE LITTLE EAST CONFERENCE LAUNCHES EXCITING NEW WEBSITE THROUGH PRESTOSPORTS, LITTLEEAST.COM FEATURES COMPLETE D3SCOREBOARD INTEGRATION
ROCKVILLE, Md. - The
Little East
Conference, an NCAA Division III conference featuring
eight public colleges throughout New England, has launched an
innovative new web site through PrestoSports. The new
Little East Conference web site features a new
interactive design and complete integration into D3Scoreboard through the
PrestoSports network. As part of the PrestoSports network, the new
conference site will populate with instant scores, standings and
other updates the minute any D3Scoreboard client enters their
scores into the D3Scoreboard system.
Beginning prior to the fall season, the Little East began its
schedule and standings migration to the D3Scoreboard system. The
system was integrated into the conference's old site as conference
administrators and members of the PrestoSports staff made
preparations for the new league website.
The instantaneous sharing of data for the conference site has
allowed the conference office to streamline its effort and gives
institutions immediate control over score reporting. Additionally,
conference scores can be shared with other members of the
PrestoSports network - which includes nearly a dozen New
England-based conferences.
"We're excited to help meet the goals of the Little East
Conference as it continues to highlight its institutions,"
PrestoSports Product Manager and D3Scoreboard founder Robb Modica said. "Not
only is it a unique site with its own special design, but perhaps
more importantly, the LEC membership will maximize efficiency from
score networking throughout New England and immediately push its
data to the nation's top Division III sport sites."
PrestoSports, the national leader in conference web sites, has
launched or recently partnered with seven conferences in the New
England region and over 30 conferences nationally. The ECAC, Northeast-10 Conference,
ECAC
Hockey, the Massachusetts State College Athletic
Conference (MASCAC) the North Atlantic
Conference and the New England Men's and Women's
Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) have launched web sites
with PrestoSports while the newly formed New England
Collegiate Conference (NECC) and the New England
Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) will launch
sites with full networking capabilities in the future. The Little
East Conference publicists will also enjoy full d3scoreboard
integration throughout New England as The Commonwealth
Coast Conference, Great Northeast Athletic Conference
(GNAC) and North Eastern Athletic Conference
(NEAC) are D3Scoreboard clients. Through additional
partnerships, scores and standings are transmitted immediately to
some of the nation's top Division III media web sites including
d3football, d3hoops, d3baseball and d3kicks.
The Little East Conference has put the student-athlete first since
its founding on April 28, 1986. The conference includes Eastern Connecticut State, Keene State,
Plymouth State, Rhode Island
College, UMass Boston, UMass Dartmouth, Southern
Maine and Western
Connecticut State. League competition takes place in
19 sports. Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross
country, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, indoor track and outdoor track.
Women's teams compete in basketball, cross country, field hockey,
lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, indoor track, outdoor
track and volleyball.
As members who will be launching new web sites through
PrestoSports, conference members Keene State and
Plymouth State, institutions in the site design
and data migration process with PrestoSports, will only have to
update their scores in one location to update their own web site,
the conference site and national d3sports sites.
