Vanderbilt Lacrosse To Be Featured On College Sports TV 2-6-04 2/6/2004 Commodores will take on Johns Hopkins on Sunday, April 4, on cable network. NEW YORK, N.Y. — The Vanderbilt women’s lacrosse team will be featured in collegiate lacrosse’s first live nationally televised game of the week series, to begin broadcasting this season on CSTV: College Sports Television. The cable network will present a live broadcast of the Commodores’ matchup with American Lacrosse Conference rival Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Md., on April 4 at Noon CT. “Having televised games is exciting for the sport of lacrosse,” Vanderbilt Head Coach Cathy Swezey said. “It is even more exciting for us, having a conference game played in the home state of most of our girls (Maryland). We are really looking forward to the opportunity to show off the ALC (American Lacrosse Conference).” Last spring, the American Lacrosse Conference and CSTV signed a multi-year contract that calls for the broadcast of at least two games per season, starting this year. CSTV also will broadcast an April 23 matchup between league rivals Penn State and Ohio State. CSTV, the nation’s first 24-hour college sports network, is available to more than 15 million homes nationally on cable and satellite. The network has televised more than 2,500 hours of original programming spanning 30 men’s and women’s college sports since launching last April. CSTV Lax launches on Saturday, March 6, with a men’s telecast featuring Princeton and Johns Hopkins. The 20-game schedule concludes with five national championships — women’s division I, II & III, as well as men’s divison I & II. CSTV also will cover college lacrosse within its CSTV Primetime and CSTV Scoreboard live studio shows. |
