CSTV Brings Back "King of Spring" With Nation's Most Compelling College Lacrosse Programming
 
 

Jan. 16, 2006

New York, NY - The nation's fastest growing sport returns to CSTV: College Sports Television, the leader in college lacrosse, this spring for the network's fourth consecutive season of college lacrosse programming.  CSTV will once again prominently showcase lacrosse, this year as the "King of Spring," offering elite match-ups of the top men's and women's teams, compelling features and in-depth coverage and analysis on television and online. 

 

Among the outstanding teams on CSTV's 2006 lacrosse schedule are last year's national champion Johns Hopkins and runner-up Duke (ranked #2 and #1, respectively, in the pre-season US Lacrosse poll), #4 Maryland and #7 Navy.  In addition, CSTV will make hundreds of games and special features available to lacrosse fans all season long via broadband through the CSTV.com XXL package. 

 

CSTV's national coverage includes the Nissan Half-Time Show, a comprehensive lacrosse news program during half-time of all televised games and The #1 College Sports Show, CSTV's weekly studio show with features, interviews and other topical information.  Veteran lacrosse analyst Paul Carcaterra and play-by-play personality Joe Beninati make up the CSTV broadcast team for men's games, while Sheehan Stanwick serves as the women's analyst.  A 1997 graduate of Syracuse University, Carcaterra was an All-American midfielder and team captain for the Orange, while Stanwick was an All-American attacker at Georgetown, who graduated in 2001 holding career records for points, goals and assists. 


 

 

"The King of Spring is back on CSTV, and we're utilizing CSTV's vast network and numerous distribution outlets to present the most comprehensive and innovative wire to wire college lacrosse programming ever," said Tim Pernetti, SVP of Programming and Talent, CSTV.   "Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports in America and CSTV is proud to be behind its continued growth and increased popularity.  CSTV's lacrosse schedule is about dedication to bringing fans the nation's top teams and most anticipated match-ups."  Pernetti announced the 2006 CSTV Lacrosse schedule today at the annual US Lacrosse National Convention in Philadelphia.

In addition to televising four Navy games this season, CSTV will air a compelling original 30 minute program called Dog Days Navy Lacrosse, chronicling the Navy men's lacrosse team's unique preparation of participating in Navy Seals training.  The program is slotted to air March 11, the same day Navy plays Bucknell on CSTV.   

 

"US Lacrosse is proud that our partnership with CSTV has helped to provide the national lacrosse community with access to live lacrosse programming," said US Lacrosse Executive Director Steve Stenersen.  "CSTV's commitment to men's and women's lacrosse has contributed significantly to the sport's promotion and development, and we are very thankful for the ongoing support the network provides US Lacrosse as well."
