With all the focus going towards new national collegiate programs that have sprung up at Lindenwood University and Penn State University, one new D3 offering has been overlooked by many it appears.
After seeing a job posting for Steveson University on the NCAA and AHCA job boards and having no knowledge of them or the fact they were planning to field an NCAA Division III entry, I contract the school. A helpful lady in the athletics office confirmed their intent to recruit and field a team for the 2011-2012 season. She pointed me to there website were perspective student athletes can signup to join the inaugural squad. There intention is to hire a coach, and begin play in early December. She was unaware of who they had under contract to face in their first season or what league they would plan on joining in the future.
Reisterstown Sportsplex in Baltimore County, Maryland is the intended home rink for the program that will be the 21st sport in the Division III university's list of offerings. The program will be the first south of the Mason-Dixon line and has other programs in the area looking to field teams of their own.
In a time where so many schools are evaluating their offerings it's our pleasure to say welcome aboard to Stevenson University!
