MAAC Sports
Edison, N.J. - The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference has announced its ESPN television schedule for the 2012-13 season.
Some of the highlights of the 2012-13 schedule include:
- The basketball schedule opens on Nov. 9 with the 2012-13 Preseason Awards Shows on ESPN3. The women's show will take place at Marist College when they host Vermont for their home opener, and the men's show will occur during Iona College's home opener against Denver. At each site, the MAAC Preseason Poll will be announced along with the Preseason Player of the Year for each sport. The Red Foxes will also raise their MAAC Championship banner, while the Gaels will hang their NCAA at-large banner.
- The MAAC Cross Country Championships will be carried on ESPN3 when the men's and women's races take place on Oct. 27 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World.
- On Nov. 10, Marist will host the MAAC Men's Soccer Championship final at Tenney Stadium live on ESPN3, with the winner garnering the league's automatic bid to the 2012 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship.
- Rider University once again represents the MAAC in ESPN's College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon, with the Broncs hosting Stony Brook University for the 6:00 a.m. telecast on ESPN in the newly renovated Bronc Zoo.
- Marist returns to the Old Spice Classic, taking on West Virginia University on ESPN2 in the first round at the HP Field House at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
- A rematch of last year's highly contested women's basketball semifinal between Niagara University and Marist will take place on Feb. 15 on ESPNU.
