Partners with PrestoSports to Launch MercyAthletics.com
MercyAthletics.com becomes the official online
source for Mercy College Athletics.
DOBBS FERRY, NY and BETHESDA, MD - Mercy College has entered into a partnership with PrestoSports to develop and host the college's official athletics website. MercyAthletics.com was officially launched today as the official website of Mercy College's Department of Athletics.
"As Mercy College continues to re-brand its athletics program, we are thrilled to be a part of this resurgence," states Patrick B. Summers, Director of Operations at PrestoSports. "They are working hard to become one of the top schools in the region, and we intend to help them get there."
Mercy College selected PrestoSports as a partner after interviewing several possible vendors. An NCAA Division II school competing in the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference (NYCAC), Mercy sponsors 15 sports for men and women.
"We're excited to partner with PrestoSports and to be launching our new athletics website," said Dr. Kevin T. McGinniss, Mercy's Director of Athletics. "This is another big step for our programs and for Mercy College. The PrestoSports design team and support staff has been outstanding and we look forward to a great relationship with them as we continue to move forward."
Mercy becomes the fourteenth Division II school using the PrestoSports software, including several in the New York metropolitan area. Others include Pace University (Pleasantville, NY), Dominican College (Orangeburg, NY), and Post University (Waterbury, CT).
PrestoSports, founded in 2002, is a leading provider of athletics content management software to colleges and conference offices. With parent company Lokitech, PrestoSports markets solutions for officiating, website design and hosting, award management, merchandising and photo hosting.
