MAAC Sports
Edison, N.J. - The Metro Atlantic
Athletic Conference (MAAC) has announced that the 2012 Men's Soccer
Championship Final will be telecast live on ESPN3 at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov.
10.
"The MAAC is excited to
continue to grow its partnership with the greatest brand in college sports
broadcasting," noted MAAC Commissioner Richard J. Ensor. "The opportunity
for a national telecast of men's soccer on ESPN3 is important to the conference
as it adds more broadcast opportunities to its six-year agreement with ESPN on
its various national platforms."
This marks the second
straight year the Men's Soccer Final will be showcased on ESPN3. ESPN3 is
currently available to 73 million homes and approximately 21 million U.S.
college students and U.S.-based military personnel.
The site of the Championship has been changed to Tenney Stadium at
Leonidoff Field on the campus of Marist College. Tenney Stadium also hosted the
event in 2008 when the Final was televised on ESPNU.
"Tenney Stadium is the
perfect college sports venue, the right size for college soccer and I know that
the Marist College community will support the event with enthusiasm," said
Ensor.
The semifinals will be held
on Thursday, Nov. 8 with game times set for 7 and 9 p.m. Both contests will be
broadcast live on MAAC.TV.
All-session and individual game tickets are available now at maac.ticketleap.com.
