Must-see TV: NDC on STO
Falcon hoops to hit the airwaves

SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio – Notre Dame College announced today an agreement with Classic Teleproductions to have eight (8) remaining home basketball games (four men’s and four women’s) broadcast on SportsTime Ohio (STO).  The games will be aired on STO tape-delay, beginning with the Jan. 17 broadcast of an NDC men’s-women’s doubleheader Jan. 16 against Roberts Wesleyan College (NY).

“This is a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase the College and our student-athletes,” said Notre Dame Director of Athletics Sue Hlavacek.  “We look forward to working with Classic on the game production, and we think the end product will be something that students, parents, and basketball fans in Northeast Ohio will enjoy.”

(Games will be re-aired on STO schedule-permitting.  See SportsTimeOhio.com for complete and updated listings.)

Notre Dame instituted Men’s Basketball in 2001, when the former women’s college added programs for male students.  The Falcons, under Head Coach Kevin Bille, are coming off their best season in program history (19-14 in 2006-07).  Through games of Jan. 3, NDC is 5-11 this season.

NDC Women’s Basketball began in 1973.  The NDC Women, under Head Coach Dick Deasy, have won 20-plus games in three consecutive seasons (2005-07).  The Falcons are 9-3 this season.
