NEW ENGLAND SMALL COLLEGE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE (NESCAC) LAUNCHES NEW WEB SITE THROUGH PRESTOSPORTS, LEAGUE HOME OFFERS FULL NETWORKING, ONLINE AWARDS AND MORE
ROCKVILLE, Md. - The New
England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), a
group of 11 highly selective liberal arts colleges and universities
that share a similar philosophy for intercollegiate athletics,
re-launched its conference web site last week through PrestoSports
at www.nescac.com. The site
features a creative new design, complete integration into the
PrestoSports Scoreboard Interface via d3scoreboard, online awards
systems and several conference devised features for displaying
NESCAC content.
Founded in 1971, the NESCAC was created out of a concern for the direction of intercollegiate athletic programs, and remains committed to keeping a proper perspective on the role of sport in higher education. Member colleges and university include Amherst, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Connecticut College, Hamilton, Middlebury, Trinity, Tufts, Wesleyan and current PrestoSports client Williams. The conference was created out of a concern for the direction of intercollegiate athletic programs, and remains committed to keeping a proper perspective on the role of sport in higher education.
The NESCAC site includes several creative features, including a focus on its student-athletes. The conference office features a different athlete on the refresh of the main page, selecting that athlete will lead the viewer to an athlete profile and the option to view all of the archived athletes from 2006-07 and from 2005-06.
The NESCAC will soon take advantage of the PrestoSports online awards system, which streamlines the nominating, voting and compilation process for conference players of the week, preseason polls and all-conference selections.
The NESCAC will also enjoy full d3scoreboard integration throughout New England as the Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference (MASCAC), the Little East Conference, the North Atlantic Conference, the New England Men's and Women's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) and New England Collegiate Conference (NECC), have launched web sites with PrestoSports while 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.
"We are committed to helping the NESCAC promote its intercollegiate athletes and institutions within the framework of the conference's mission," PrestoSports Product Manager and former NESCAC administrator Robb Modica said. "In addition to a unique site, the NESCAC and its membership will continue to maximize efficiency from score networking with many of the nation's top NCAA Division III conferences and sports media sites."
PrestoSports, the national leader in conference web sites, has launched or recently partnered with eight conferences in the New England region and over 40 conferences and associations nationally.
