NEW YORK (June 4, 2025) – NBCUniversal Local and Digital Health Networks (DHN) announced the launch of The Care Collective, a new healthcare marketing platform producing premium multimedia health and wellness storytelling for distribution across leading TV, streaming and digital media properties.

The Care Collective marries DHN’s health storytelling expertise, content production capabilities, and access to health talent and opinion leaders with NBCU Local’s audience scale and precision targeting capabilities – including nationwide via NBC SpotOn, the advanced CTV advertising platform – to offer health and wellness brands an end-to-end story-driven marketing platform to reach, engage, inform, and entertain audiences.

The charter brand partners include argenx, a global immunology company committed to improving the lives of people suffering from severe autoimmune diseases by developing precision medicines to target the foundational components of the immune system; Avalere Health, a global strategic partner for the healthcare industry; and Sermo, a global platform for real-world medical discovery and discussion that is home to over one million healthcare providers worldwide. 

“The experiences of those managing their own health and caring for their loved ones are inspiring, and health marketers value powerful storytelling as much as audiences,” said Victor Parada, Director of Business Development and Brand Partnerships for NBCU Local. “We are proud to collaborate with DHN to marry their creative prowess with our marketing power and media portfolio, and we are excited about the enthusiastic response we’ve received from brands, as well as creative, strategy and innovation leaders at agencies.”

The Care Collective, utilizing a range of video content and formats, such as feature documentaries, short films, unscripted series, audio, and interactive features, will work with health and wellness brands to produce and distribute compelling human-interest stories covering a variety of health-related subjects, including disease-state education, the patient journey, innovation in healthcare, and access to leading experts and resources. One of the first projects in production is Rare, Well Done, a reality makeover program for people living with Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), a rare autoimmune disease.

“In every health story, we find relatable human-interest stories,” said Jon Cody, CEO of DHN. “From patient journeys to caring for our loved ones, from the heroic efforts of our healthcare professionals to the medical research and innovative breakthroughs, we believe the future of health is storytelling and we are proud to create The Care Collective with NBCU Local, and to work with our charter partners and other brands in the future to bring these stories to life.”

Content produced by The Care Collective will be presented across NBCU Local and other NBCUniversal media properties. NBCU Local’s portfolio includes 11 NBC- and 31 Telemundo-owned stations, four NBC Sports Regional Networks, three national multicast networks, and 16 free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels, as well as local and regional news desktop and mobile sites, and mobile and OTT apps.

LE MOYNE COLLEGE NOTIFIES NCAA IT WILL ACCELERATE TRANSITION TO DIVISION I

Syracuse, N.Y. – Le Moyne College President Linda LeMura and Assistant Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics and Campus Recreation Phil Brown announced today that the College has officially notified the NCAA of its intent to accelerate its transition to full membership in the NCAA Division I.
 
By accelerating its reclassification schedule by one year, Le Moyne will have access to DI membership benefits and its 21 teams will be fully eligible for NCAA Championships starting with the 2026-27 academic year following the successful completion of its upcoming third year of the reclassification process. The move will also give the College access to revenue that stems from participation in NCAA tournaments as well as the additional exposure to potential students one year sooner.
 
Le Moyne accepted its invitation to join the NEC in 2023 and began competing in the conference starting in the 2023-24 academic year.
 
“This is an important step in our unwavering commitment to competing in all aspects at the D-I level,” said President LeMura. “Over the past two years we have shown by our team and individual performances that we can compete as a DI institution. Getting to compete in NCAA championships one year earlier will enhance our ability to recruit outstanding student-athletes who place a premium on a premier liberal arts education.”

At the NCAA Convention in January 2025, the Division I Council adopted a proposal to revise the process for institutions reclassifying to DI. The revised process, which reduces the reclassification period from four to three years for DII institutions, requires schools to meet academic requirements, including being above the 10th percentile of DI members in the academic progress rate, graduation success rate, or the difference between the federal graduation rates for student-athletes and for the general student body.

“I’d like to thank President LeMura and the entire leadership team for reaffirming our commitment to DI athletics,” said Phil Brown. “Since my arrival in January, our focus has been on positioning the Dolphins for success at the DI level. We have seen many benefits from our move to DI, including a six percent increase in the number of student athletes coming to Le Moyne over the past two years, and this accelerated path will provide earlier access to NCAA postseason championships and strengthen our vision for an exceptional student-athlete experience.”

 

Reclassifying schools also must meet new financial aid requirements, such as a scholarship offering that exceeds the 10th percentile of active DI members, participate in an academic review, satisfy all DI core guarantees and attestation requirements and complete an NCAA self-study program. Progression through the process is dependent upon meeting each year’s benchmarks. Le Moyne has already completed and passed its NCAA compliance review, another component of the reclassification process.

During its first two years as a member of the NEC and competing at the DI level, the Dolphins have made a total of 32 postseason appearances, including 16 during the 2024-25 academic year. Three programs have posted postseason victories, including women’s basketball each year, while the swimming and diving and indoor and outdoor track and field programs have combined for 11 individual medals. Academically, the department has extended its streak of consecutive semesters with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or higher to 44 and turned in a 3.345 GPA for the 2024-25 academic year.

While six institutions (five from DII and one from DIII) just completed the accelerated transition process in late June, Le Moyne is the only institution in the nation in its transition “class.” Two institutions are a year behind Le Moyne, while the University of New Haven is the only institution starting the transition this year.

“Le Moyne has been a tremendous addition to the NEC over the past two years and has demonstrated its commitment to elevating its entire athletics enterprise to the Division I level,” said NEC Commissioner Noreen Morris. “I commend President Linda LeMura and Athletic Director Phil Brown for their leadership in making this decision which aligns with their strategic vision for the future of Le Moyne and its athletics program. The NEC is excited to partner with the Le Moyne Dolphins as they ride the wave into full DI membership.”

Springfield, Mass. – July 17, 2025 – Springfield College men’s volleyball junior Dylan Mulvaney (Reston, Va.) has earned a spot on the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-America Third Team for his hard work on the court and in the classroom during the 2024-25 academic year.

Mulvaney, now a two-time CSC Academic All-District selection and first time CSC Academic All-America honoree, is the fourth student-athlete in men’s volleyball program history to earn the prestigious accolade and seventh overall selection for the honor. Mulvaney joins Bret Stothart (1996, 1997), Kyle Jasuta (2017) and Jarrett Anderson (2021, 2022, 2023) as Academic All-Americans for the Springfield College men’s volleyball program.

The 2025 Academic All-America® At-Large Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. Honorees must have at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average on a 4.00 scale and must compete in 90-percent of the institution’s games played. Mulvaney was one of 46 student-athletes from across the country and one of 13 from the New England region to be chosen this year.

Mulvaney, an exercise science major with a 3.71 grade point average, ranked second in the nation with 10.37 assists per set dishing out a total of 861 helpers and powered Springfield College to the second-best hitting percentage in the country at a .354 clip. The junior setter also registered 30 kills, 26 aces, 99 digs, 36 blocks and hit .418. In addition to his third straight All-America award, Mulvaney was tabbed as the FrogJump Volleyball Division III National Setter of the Year and as the Region I Player of the Year for the second time in his career.

Mulvaney guided Springfield to a record of 25-5 and back to the NCAA Division III National Championship match for the first time since 2022 and for the tenth time in program history. The Pride finished the 2025 campaign ranked second in the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division III national poll and earned seven wins over ranked opponents over the course of the year under the direction of AVCA Region I Coach of the Year Charlie Sullivan.

Another international tournament, another series of brutal defeats suffered by South Africa’s women’s water polo side.

Playing at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore, they were drawn in Group D alongside Spain, Great Britain and France.

In their opening match, the South African side lost 23-4 (score by quarters: 9-1, 5-0, 4-2, 5-1) to Spain.

That was followed by a 12-3 defeat against Great Britain (score by quarters: 5-0, 2-2, 4-1, 1-0) and a 13-6 loss to France (score by quarters: 4-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-0).

South Africa finished bottom of the group, scoring just 13 goals while conceding 48 for an average loss of 16-4.

The South African women’s side then entered the 13th-16th place bracket where they lost 16-6 against Croatia.

They will now face hosts Singapore on Saturday, 19 July at 09:00 (SA time) to determine 15th and 16th places overall.

Faired little better

Meanwhile, the South African men’s side faired little better.

They were drawn in Group A alongside Italy, Serbia and Romania.

In their opening match, South Africa lost 27-3 (score by quarters: 8-0, 6-3, 4-0, 9-0) to Serbia.

They followed that up with a 24-5 loss against Romania (score by quarters: 8-0, 3-1, 7-3, 6-1).

In their final group stage match, the South African men’s side were humbled 28-4 by Italy (score by quarters: 6-1, 9-0, 8-1, 5-2).

South Africa finished bottom of the group, scoring just 12 goals while conceding 79 for an average loss of 26-4.

The South African men’s side will now enter the 13th-16th place bracket where they will face Australia on Friday, 18 July at 09:00 (SA time).

Should they lose that match – as is expected – they will face the loser of the clash between hosts Singapore and China to determine 15th and 16th places overall.

Despite being the best in Africa, why do South Africa struggle on the international water polo stage?

Veteran Throwers Coach, Vandal Alum Julie Taylor Returns to Moscow

MOSCOW, Idaho – Tracy Hellman and Idaho Track & Field is excited to announce the hiring of Julie Taylor as the newest assistant coach for the Vandals. 

With decades of experience coaching and developing elite Division I throwers, Taylor is one of the premier coaches in the Pacific Northwest and will be returning to her alma mater after a highly successful 11-year stint at Washington State.  

Joining the program in 2014, Taylor coached multiple Cougar throwers to numerous All-Conference and All-American accolades, including Brock Eager, who took home the Pac-12 title in the hammer throw in 2017 and 2019. Eager also earned back-to-back-to-back All-American Honors at the NCAA Championships from 2017-19. Of all the top-10 throwing marks in WSU’s record book, thirty-one of them occurred during Taylor’s time in Pullman.

Prior to Washington State, the veteran coach held the same position at Idaho, bringing previously unseen levels of success to the Vandals’ track and field program. An accomplished thrower for UI herself, Taylor set outdoor records in both the shot put and discus during her career. However, her Vandal athletes were so successful that they broke enough records to knock their coach out of the top-10 entirely, a testament to her development of elite throwers in Moscow. 

While coaching at Idaho, Julie’s throwers qualified for the NCAA Championships 48 times and won two NCAA championships, 26 WAC titles, eight Big West titles, and nine Big Sky titles while accumulating 28 All-America honors. In her last nine years coaching the Vandal throwers before joining WSU, a school record was broken in eight of them. 

The 2008 Vandals, under Taylor, were the only men’s NCAA program to have four competitors eclipse the 200-foot mark in the hammer throw, a feat accomplished all in the same meet. The Idaho men won the team title at the 2012 WAC Outdoor Championships, backed by three individual titles and 68 points from the throwers. 

Prior to these, Julie Taylor coached the first and only individual NCAA women’s champion in school history. Katja Schreiber won the national title in 2001 with a school record heave of 197’11” in the discus.

A standout thrower for the Vandals from 1983-86, Taylor broke both the shot put and discus school records and earned three All-Big Sky honors during her career. She scored points at every conference meet of her career and still ranks 31st in Idaho history in all-time outdoor conference scoring with 28 points.

Julie will be joined in her role by her husband, Tim Taylor. Another All-Big Sky, All-American, and top-10 thrower for the Vandals, Tim served as a volunteer assistant coach for Idaho during Julie’s first stint in Moscow, continued the role in Pullman, and will resume this position alongside his wife. 

Hellman, Director of the track and field program, is thrilled to have Julie returning to Moscow.

“We are extremely excited to welcome Julie and Tim back to Moscow to lead our throw program. Julie’s experience in the throws speaks for itself as she has not only developed elite throwers at the DI level, [but] she understands the type of student-athlete we want to attract here at Idaho.”

Hellman knows the standard that Taylor has set with her athletes, and looks forward to seeing that continue in the 25-26 season and beyond. 

“Idaho has a rich history in the throws and we are committed to getting back to that championship level. We are excited to elevate our throw program to one of the best in the NCAA. Winning the Big Sky Championships is a goal for our team, and to do that, we need a well-rounded program. The opportunity to bring in a veteran throws coach with proven success is a win-win. Welcome back to Moscow and Idaho, Julie!”

Women’s Volleyball | 7/17/2025 3:10:00 PM

2025 Schedule

Saint Francis women’s volleyball head coach Sara McMullen Spielvogel has announced her 2025 schedule. The schedule is highlighted with the home tournament, the Red Flash Classic, and a trip to play at Rutgers.

“We have loaded our non-conference schedule up with some very strong opponents,” said Spielvogel. “We are looking forward to the challenge this schedule will bring us to help us be battle tested for conference play.  One of the major highlighted games on our schedule is Rutgers. It will be a fun physical battle and mental battle for our athletes to play under the bright lights of a Big Ten opponent in their arena.”  

The Red Flash will open the season at the Rocket Invitational Presented by Delta Hotels by Marriott hosted by Toledo on August 29 and 30. It is the third time the Loretto program will play in a Toledo-hosted event after also competing in 2005 and 2016 in its tournament. The team will open the campaign against Albany for the third meeting in the series and the first since 2009 on the first day of the tournament. Saint Francis will then play Robert Morris and Toledo on the second day of the invitational. It will be the 88th meeting against Robert Morris, its old Northeast Conference (NEC) rival, while it’s the sixth time playing Toledo.

Saint Francis makes its 2025 home debut with the Red Flash Classic. It will be the fifth consecutive season Spielvogel has hosted the event and the 21st time overall on September 5-6. The squad is 6-4 in the previous four Red Flash Classics. The tournament field will include Siena, Youngstown State, and Lafayette. The Red Flash opens the event against Siena for the fifth meeting between the two teams, including a 3-0 Saint Francis win last season in the Red Flash Classic. It is the 38th meeting against Youngstown State, with the matchups taking place in odd years since 2015. The Loretto program defeated Youngstown State 3-1 in the last meeting in 2023. The team leads the series against Lafayette 4-1 and marks the first meeting since 2021. Youngstown State is competing in a Saint Francis-hosted tournament for the third time (1990, 2013), Siena is making its second-straight appearance, and Lafayette will be in the tournament for the first time. 

The non-conference portion of the schedule wraps up with three games in Central Jersey and two matches in Western Pennsylvania. Saint Francis begins this portion of the slate with two games at Rutgers, with a match against the Scarlet Knights on September 11 and a neutral-site game against New Hampshire in New Brunswick one day later. It will be the second meeting against Rutgers, the first since 1991, and the second competition against New Hampshire, the first since 1996. It will mark the 29th time the squad has played a big conference team, with two wins against West Virginia (2006, 2012) on its resume. The trip to the Garden State concludes at Rider on September 13. It will be the 24th encounter against Rider, mainly when the Broncs were a member of the NEC. It is the first meeting since 2011 against Rider, with the Red Flash taking all five meetings since the Broncs left the league after 1996.

The second meeting against Robert Morris takes place on September 19, and at Duquesne on September 20 wraps up non-conference play in the Four Twelve Project Volleyball Invitational. It will be the 39th meeting against Duquesne with Saint Francis, with the Red Flash looking for its second win in four years against the Dukes after a thrilling 3-2 win in 2022. 

For the second consecutive season, NEC play consists of two-game series taking place at one location, but with the addition of New Haven, each team will play one team home and away during the week.

Saint Francis will host Stonehill (October 3-4), LIU (October 31-November 1), and Le Moyne (November 134-15), while traveling to New Haven (October 10-11), FDU (October 24-25), and Chicago State (November 7-8). The split series with Mercyhurst will see the two teams square off in Loretto on October 7 and in Erie on October 29. 

The Red Flash, the 1997 NEC regular season champions, looks to earn its 26th NEC Tournament appearance and fifth straight in 2025. The Red Flash advanced to the NEC Championship Game in 1989, 1993, 1995, and 1997 when the tournament was double elimination.
