NEC Blitz to Broadcast Mercyhurst Football, Baseball via Internet Radio

WALDEMEER PARK - We promised to work diligently to bring Mercyhurst sports to the fans in Erie and throughout the northeast in new ways. Thanks to Mercyhurst University’s unparalleled effort, Mercyhurst football and baseball is coming to internet radio through NECBlitz.

NECBlitz’s internet radio network will seek to provide an alternative experience to fans. You’ll hear expert commentary from the people most invested in the programs. We’ll continue to provide the high quality written coverage for football that you’ve come to expect while adding another dimension for us to promote sports in the northeast and the scholarship athletes that make it great.

NEC Blitz's first radio presentation of Mercyhurst football will be 11/22 at Central Connecticut State. The radio coverage will continue with select baseball games throughout 2026 and football coverage continuing into the 2026 season.

NECBlitz publisher AJ Mayowski said, “There are two things that are definitively true about NEC Blitz. The first is that our passion lies in NEC Football. The second is that our connection with the city of Erie is unsurpassed. By entering into this partnership with Mercyhurst University, we can safely say that we’ve only improved on what was already a perfect combination.”

With this addition, NECBlitz has partnered with academic institutions to bring baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, and now football to new frontiers. “We’ve got our dream team for each and every sport we plan to cover in this academic year. Now comes the hard part- proving that we belong and that we add unique value to another facet of sports in our region. I have never been more excited to meet a challenge in my life,” said Mayowski.

The Lakers finished 15-15 in NEC play in 2025.
