It's a new school year and there are now more ways than ever to be a fan of the America East Conference!

America East unveiled its new blog--"AExtra"--on Wednesday, September 1, just in time for the 2010-11 season. AExtra will give fans a unique perspective on the teams and student-athletes that make up the conference.

In addition to the conference media relations staff, contributors to the blog will include student journalists from member schools who will have inside access to the teams, the games and the storylines. AExtra will feature stories and recaps beyond just the boxscores, q&a's with student-athletes, coaches and beat reporters, a daily round up of web links of the conference in the news and a forum for fans to interact with each other and the conference. Photo galleries and videos will showcase the action.

As always, America East will continue its coverage of its teams on the official web site at www.AmericaEast.com. Fans can also get more information on all things America East by hitting the "like" button on the official facebook page, following the official twitter feed, and checking out videos on the official YouTube channel.
