NORTHWEST CONFERENCE PARTNERS WITH PRESTOSPORTS FOR NEW WEB SITE, ONE OF NATION'S MOST COMPETITIVE DIVISION III CONFERENCES TO LAUNCH SITE LATER THIS YEAR
ROCKVILLE, Md. - The Northwest Conference (NWC), an NCAA Division III conference with nine independent colleges and universities throughout Oregon and Washington, has partnered with PrestoSports for a new conference web site.
The new NWC site will feature a unique design and the latest PrestoSports tools designed specifically for site administration from conference offices.
Present, past and future schedules, scores and standings will integrate directly into the new Northwest Conference site. Through a custom interface, administrators from each of the nine institutions and the conference office will have the opportunity to enter score and schedule updates which will update the league site's schedules, standings and scoreboards instantaneously.
"We're excited that the Northwest Conference has decided to move
its website onto the PrestoSports network," Product Manager
Robb Modica
says. "We've had a wonderful relationship with the NWC through
d3scoreboard and are
eager to enhance the NWC's offerings to fans, parents,
student-athletes and the membership with this new site. It's
obvious big things are happening in the Northwest Conference and
PrestoSports is excited to be a part of it."
Founded in 1926, the NWC is one of the oldest athletic alliances
in the western United States. The NWC's current Oregon-based
membership includes Linfield, Lewis & Clark,
Willamette, Pacific and George Fox. The members from the state of
Washington are Puget Sound, Pacific Lutheran, Whitman and
Whitworth. Menlo College, located in Atherton, Calif., competes as
an affiliate league member for football. Lewis & Clark launched
a web site with PrestoSports in 2007 at www.lcpioneers.com.
