FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NORFOLK, VA – The United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) has launched a brand-new website dedicated to the Small College World Series (www.smallcollegeworldseries.com). The event, which comprises the USCAA’s Baseball and Softball National Championships, will be held from May 13th-17th in DuBois, Pennsylvania. This is the first year of the combined spring championship format.
In just over a month, nearly 500 student-athletes will descend upon DuBois where they will be greeted by brand-new (or newly renovated) facilities and a small-town charm that will make the tournaments unique within the USCAA landscape.
