PRESTOSPORTS PARTNERS WITH FRANKLIN & MARSHALL COLLEGE FOR NEW ATHLETICS WEB SITE, GODIPLOMATS.COM WILL LAUNCH WITH NEW LOOK THIS SUMMER
ROCKVILLE, Md. - Franklin & Marshall College, an NCAA Division III member of the Centennial Conference, has partnered with PrestoSports for a new athletics web site. F&M will launch a new site which features an exciting design and complete integration into the PrestoSports network this summer.
The PrestoSports network allows institutions to take advantage of a technology platform that connects institutions, conferences and media sites for immediate score, schedule and standings updating. Once scores and schedules are entered into the F&M web site, they will immediately update opponents' sites, conferences and national media outlets such as d3football and d3hoops.
Via a custom designed tool, PrestoSports will assist F&M in transitioning from its current provider to the PrestoSports content management system.
"We're eager to transition Franklin & Marshall from its current provider to our platform," says PrestoSports Vice President Patrick Summers. "We've had extensive conversations with the F&M athletics staff and are thrilled to help meet their web site goals."
Located in Lancaster, Pa., Franklin & Marshall competes as a member of the Centennial Conference. The athletic program at Franklin & Marshall promotes liberal learning in the fullest sense by complementing the academic mission of the College.
"From our initial conversation, it was clear that PrestoSports was fully committed to understanding our department's goals and web needs," said Franklin & Marshall College Director of Athletics and Recreation, Patricia S.W. Epps. "We are thrilled to partner with such an innovative and solution-oriented web-provider."
The Diplomats sponsor intercollegiate sport offerings in baseball, men's and women's basketball, crew, men's and women's cross country, field hockey, football, men's and women's golf, men's and women's indoor track, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's track & field, women's volleyball and wrestling.
