The Midwestern Collegiate Conference and Total Sports have teamed up to bring fans of MCC action a new way to view the league over the internet -- www.MCCSportsNet.com.

"The internet is an ever-growing medium, and we feel that Total Sports gives us the resources and manpower to reach our fans better than ever before," said MCC commissioner Jonathan B. LeCrone. "We look forward to a great partnership for years to come."

Through the new website, fans can receive up-to-the minute news about the MCC and its eight member schools -- Butler University, Cleveland State University, University of Detroit Mercy, University of Illinois at Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Wright State University.

Men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, men's and women's basketball, baseball and softball are all on the calendar to be covered in this manner by Total Sports.
