 CALDWELL,
N.J. - Come out to the George R. Newman Center on the campus of Caldwell
College for exciting Division II men's college basketball action as the
Cougars host the ECAC/Commerce Bank Classic on Dec. 22-23. Caldwell and
Dominican College from the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference will be
taking on a pair of Northeast 10 Conference schools in Franklin Pierce
University and Southern New Hampshire University in the tournament.
This year the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) has partnered with
Commerce Bank to co-sponsor the tournament, which is in its second year.
“We are pleased to have the ECAC involved with our tournament this year,”
said Mark A. Corino, Caldwell’s Executive Director of Athletics and head
men’s basketball coach. “Under the new leadership of ECAC Commissioner Rudy
Keeling, it is great to see a renewed commitment to events like this. These
tournaments benefit our student-athletes and also increase the visibility of
our institution and our athletic programs. We are honored to be affiliated
with the ECAC.”
Caldwell College joined the ECAC, which includes 321 NCAA Division I, II and
III colleges and universities, in 2004. This fall, Corino was selected to
serve on the ECAC’s Board of Directors.
“The ECAC is excited to partner with Caldwell College and Commerce Bank to
host this tournament,” said Keeling, who became commissioner of the ECAC in
May of 2007. “It has always been a first-class tournament and we hope our
involvement will help to make it the top Division II tournament in New
Jersey.”
