South Easton, Mass. – In an effort to provide fans the ability to follow along with their favorite team or support their favorite student-athletes, the Northeast-10 Conference has teamed up once again with Pack Network to provide free, live coverage of the Men's and Women's Basketball, and Men's Ice Hockey Championships – all of which can be accessed at Northeast10.tv.
Pack Network broadcasts are similar to television quality broadcasts, and provide all the features fans have come to expect when watching games from instant replays to interviews with players and coaches at halftime and following each game.
For those fans that wish to follow along with the NE-10 Championships, but are unable to be near a computer, the conference will be providing real-time updates on each championship game on the conference's official twitter feed @TheNortheast10.
The 2012 Men's Basketball Championship final kicks the weekend off at 1 p.m. as third-seeded Stonehill College plays host to fourth-seeded University of Massachusetts Lowell. The Skyhawks earned the right to host with their over Adelphi University in the semfinals, coupled with UMass Lowell's win over top-seeded Franklin Pierce University.
Stonehill has not claimed an NE-10 title in men's basketball since 1989, while UMass Lowell claimed the 2010 Championship crown.
Shortly after the men's basketball championship tips off, the puck drops in Manchester, N.H. as top-seeded Saint Anselm College plays host to third-seeded Stonehill in the 2012 NE-10 Hockey Championship final.
The Hawks have won six NE-10 Championships, including each of the past two titles, while the Skyhawks will be looking to return to the top of the conference landscape for the first time since 2007, the only previous Northeast-10 Hockey Championship in school history.
Winter championship weekend is capped off on Sunday at 1 p.m., when top-seeded Bentley University hosts second-seeded Southern Connecticut State University in the 2012 Women's Basketball Championship.
Bentley has won more NE-10 Championships in the sport (15) then any team, and will be looking to add to that number Sunday afternoon in Waltham, Mass. The defending women's basketball champions host a So. Connecticut team that last won the league title in 2007, the same year they won the Division II Women's Basketball Championship.
The Northeast-10 is an association of 16 NCAA Division II colleges and universities located in New England and New York that is committed to supporting balanced academic and athletic opportunities for more than 5,500 student-athletes. Each year, 4,000 of those student-athletes compete in Conference championships in 23 sports, making the NE-10 the largest DII conference in the country. Leading the way in the classroom, on the field and within the community, the Northeast-10 is proud of its comprehensive program and the experience it provides student-athletes.
