NEC Blitz Announces Internet Radio Broadcast of Chicago State Women’s Basketball Opener

HOOP TOWNSHIP- The Chicago State Cougars and NEC Blitz have reached an agreement to livestream audio for the women’s basketball season opener on November 3rd at 7:00 EST (8:00 CST) against the Cleveland State Vikings. The Cougars will be on the road in this contest.

NEC Blitz’s AJ Mayowski will be on site along with Cleveland State writer Kyle Rossi, Women’s Basketball Editor for the Horizone Roundtable and finalist for Best of Cleveland 2025 in the Sportswriters category. Together, they’ll be bringing you live coverage with both an NEC and Horizon League feel when the non-conference foes meet up to tip off the 2025-26 season.

AJ Mayowski said “When I founded NEC Blitz, I looked to the Horizone Roundtable as a model and still do to this day. Kyle is actually one of the people that inspired me to enter journalism as a way to stay involved in college sports when I moved on from working in the athletic department. It’s an honor to team up with the Horizone Roundtable as much as it is to cover Chicago State on-site, one of the best athletic departments to work with and a key part of the South Side’s identity in Chicago.”

The event will stream via internet radio broadcast on NECBlitz.com and HorizoneRoundtable.com. Conversations are ongoing with other partners. Fans should expect pre and postgame coverage from the Wolstein Center.

This is expected to be the first radio broadcast on NECBlitz.com’s new internet radio network.

The Cougars finished 2024 at 7-26 with a win in the NEC Tournament. Cleveland State concluded their campaign at 27-10 and advanced to the Fab 4 in the WNIT.
