Piedmont Announces eScores Partnership With Stretch Internet

The Piedmont College Office of Sports Information is proud to announce a new eScores partnership with Stretch Internet which will allow for an updated version of the current E-News Service. Additionally, Lions fans will be able to access PC Athletics scores from anywhere by virtue of instant text-messaging via your cell phone.

The new program will allow Piedmont College Athletics fans to receive the latest scores, news, press releases, and reminders through both conventional email as well as cell phones. As soon as news or scores are released fans will get the information now in a more modern and technological fashion.

Previous subscribers to the Piedmont College Athletics E-News Service have already been imported into the eScores database and should log onto the system to modify their accounts to receive scores sport-specific and to activate the cell phone text-messaging feature.

First-time subscribers to the new Piedmont College eScores program should click the link to the left to sign up for the service and remain informed. An additional route to the registration is available at www.piedmontlions.com, the official website of Piedmont College Athletics.

“This partnership with Stretch Internet will allow Piedmont College Athletic followers of all generations to keep up with the most current events of their favorite Lion teams. The text-messaging feature will allow fans to get the scores immediately at the conclusion of the game regardless of their proximity to a computer,” stated Director of Athletic Communications Lee Glenn.

Stretch Internet is based in Fullerton, CA and specializes in the online broadcasting and the online promotion of intercollegiate athletics.
