You missed the game, but you need to know: How did women's
basketball fare against Vassar on Saturday? (They won, 59-33.)
Or, did men's hockey shut out Dartmouth?
(They did, 7-0.)
Thanks to a new web site, all the Union scores and sports
stories are just a few mouse clicks away.
The site (http://www.union.edu/Athletics)
was the result of a months-long redesign by the Office of Communications
and the Department of Athletics.
With a garnet background and topped with rotating photos of
Union student-athletes, the site has a convenient summary of recent scores with
links to game recaps, a schedule of upcoming events, feature stories, links to
team pages and a fan poll.
“This new site gives our many fans a front-row seat to all
the action by providing up-to-date results, news, features and photos in an
attractive and user-friendly format,” said Val Belmonte, director of athletics.
“I'm thrilled to have this new site represent the College's programs and our student-athletes.
It combines the proud tradition of Union athletics with the bells and whistles
of the web.”
“We're proud of the
look and feel of the new athletics site,” said Jim Feck, the College's web
director. “But what may be most exciting is what visitors won't see. The site
displays scores, stories and photos from a database, speeding the process by
which information is entered and making it possible to share the very latest
news – even in-game scores and scores and recaps from far-away road games.”
The process has benefited greatly from suggestions by many
friends of Union Athletics, and we look forward to more feedback as we roll out
our newest version. Please feel free to contact us at wwwstaff@union.edu.
