EVANSTON, Ill. -- More than fifty Northwestern baseball, lacrosse and softball games will be televised or streamed online in 2015, smashing a school record for broadcast coverage in the spring season.
The full Big Ten Network spring television and BTN Plus on BTN2GO streaming schedules were released Monday. Additional coverage of all three spring sports will be offered through audio broadcasts on WNUR FM.
Once again this year, all games hosted by the seven-time NCAA champion lacrosse program will be streamed or televised. Kelly Amonte Hiller's team will play four consecutive games on Big Ten Network beginning with a March 22nd showdown against Syracuse at Lakeside Field.
For the first time in program history, Northwestern softball will also see coverage for all games hosted at Sharon J. Drysdale Field, including a televised doubleheader against Illinois on April 22nd. Kate Drohan's team will have a total of 21 games either televised or streamed.
Northwestern baseball will make an appearance on Big Ten Network for a May 9th game at Michigan. Paul Stevens' Wildcats are scheduled for an additional 22 games to be streamed, including a stretch of 10 consecutive home games beginning April 26th against Ohio State. Streaming coverage is scheduled for the entire home series against Nebraska, Kansas and Maryland in early May.
All Northwestern home events are streamed as part of the BTN Plus package, available on the BTN2GO app and btn2go.com. BTN Plus games require a paid subscription in order to access content or are available at no charge to Northwestern students using an on-campus network. The streams are live, student-produced broadcasts and are archived and available on demand after the conclusion of the game. Opponents may stream road games through a different platform that may require the purchase of a separate subscription.
A schedule of announced spring broadcasts is listed below. The schedule and platform are subject to change and coverage information will be added to the sport schedule page on NUsports.com.
