KENOSHA — Carthage College Athletics is excited to announce that the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) has launched the CCIW Network, a new streaming platform in partnership with Hudl that will serve as the official streaming home for all nine core conference institutions, including Carthage.

The CCIW Network will debut Friday, Aug. 29, and will be free of charge to all viewers at cciwnetwork.com. Fans, families, and alumni will not need a subscription and can access broadcasts on both desktop and mobile devices.

Each of the nine CCIW members will have a dedicated landing page with links to live and upcoming broadcasts. Firebird fans will be able to follow Carthage competitions in one convenient location, while also accessing games from across the league.

"We are thrilled to bring the CCIW Network to life with Hudl," CCIW Executive Director Maureen Harty said. "For the first time, fans, families, and alumni will be able to find broadcasts from across our nine core institutions in one place. This partnership makes following CCIW athletics easier than ever, and we are excited to showcase our student-athletes and coaches on a unified platform."

The network will feature non-conference home contests, CCIW intraconference competitions, and CCIW Championships. Select broadcasts will also be archived for on-demand viewing.

"The CCIW Network would not have been possible without the commitment and hard work of the athletics communications staffs at our member institutions," CCIW Associate Executive Director Bryan Moore said. "Hudl has been a fantastic partner. We are grateful for the dedication in making the CCIW Network a reality, and we look forward to the enhanced experience this platform will bring to our conference community."

The Firebirds make their CCIW Network debut on Sunday, August 31, when the men's soccer team hosts Wisconsin-Platteville at 5 p.m.
