Roanoke Partners with PrestoSports, Launches roanokemaroons.com

SALEM, Va. --- Roanoke College launched roanokemaroons.com on Tuesday as part of a three-year agreement with PrestoSports that includes website hosting, live streaming of games and live stats.

In addition to a new, responsive design website, visitors to roanokemaroons.com will easily able to find Maroon teams on several different social media platforms. It will also still provide day-to-day information for fans, recruits and alumni including up to date stories, season stats, in game live stats and schedules for each of RC's 19 NCAA Division III programs.

"We're excited to join the Presto team," said Roanoke College Director of Athletics Scott Allison. "Their work to create a clean, aesthetically pleasing site is much appreciated. When one accesses our new page, it pops. With the imminent opening of the Cregger Center and the resurfacing of the turf in Kerr Stadium, our web conversion to Presto comes at a perfect time."

With mobile traffic to websites increasing at rapid pace, the new site is designed to take advantage of that fast-growing shift. The new site uses responsive design and adapts its layout to the user device, whether desktop, tablet or mobile. This allows fans to experience the full website without compromising content in a mobile environment.

The new front page layout gives higher priority to video content and real-time data feeds, such as a new ODAC-wide standings and scores of RC games in real time.

The new roanokemaroons.com serves as the hub for the Maroon Network, which will distribute more than 125 live home games as well as news features on Roanoke College student-athletes and coaches.
