NEC Blitz Announces Media Partnership With Buffalo State University Athletics
BETHEL PARK, PA- Just 54 miles separate two rivals in Western New York. They call it the Battle by the Lake, and we'll be bringing it to you in 2026.
We're thrilled to announce the other member of our dream team of radio coverage, Buffalo State University. The SUNY institution, located in Buffalo, NY, offers undergraduate and graduate opportunities including a Creative Studies degree. They faced Northeast Conference competition on the gridiron in 2024 with a short trip down the road to Mercyhurst in Erie, PA.
Publisher AJ Mayowski said, “Buffalo State is a storied program. Bengals football and hockey- both men's and women's- are well known in this part of the country, and the basketball team is a historic contender that's back on the rise. They're a force in the SUNYAC, one of the great leagues in the Northeastern United States. It's a conference that prioritizes regional competition among likeminded institutions as part of the holistic growth of the competing student-athletes. In other words, it's exactly what we're about.”
Buffalo State will host rival Fredonia in the Sports Arena on January 30th, 2026. This will be the 72nd meeting between the two schools on the hardwood. NEC Blitz will have full-court press coverage in the week leading up to the game on our website and our social media pages. Fittingly, this Northeastern rivalry will be our first digital audio broadcast of 2026, available on the NEC Blitz Internet Radio page on this website.
The Bengals finished 8-17 in 2024-25. Look for more select Buffalo State contests to be available via NEC Blitz Internet Radio in the near future.
NEC Blitz Announces Media Partnership With Chatham University Baseball
BETHEL PARK, PA- NEC Blitz is thrilled to announce that we will be expanding our coverage to baseball- and not just within the Northeast Conference.
NECBlitz.com will be livestreaming exclusive audio coverage of college baseball in 2026 by entering a partnership with Chatham University. The professional quality work you’ve come to expect with our coverage of Northeast Conference schools will continue as the website makes its first foray beyond reporting and providing analysis.
NEC Blitz publisher AJ Mayowski said, “We believe baseball is unique in how it translates to audio depictions. All of us have fond memories of sitting on the porch in the summer, listening to our favorite play by play announcers describe the game and providing an experience that has never been duplicated through television. We’re thrilled to be able to bring that same experience to a new audience with Chatham University baseball. Go Cougars!”
Chatham University, located in Pittsburgh, PA, is a private university that competes in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference in Division III. Last season, the Cougars finished 10-10 in PAC play, 18-21 overall, and ended on a 2 game winning streak. Head Baseball Coach Nic Rush is the winningest coach in Cougars history. Chatham plays at West Field in nearby Munhall, PA.
Personnel for audio broadcasts will be announced in the near future. Initial expectations are for a weekly Cougars game to be provided on NECBlitz.com.
NECBlitz.com continues to be open to further partnerships with schools in our geographic area.
