CACC Celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Title IX
SCHEDULE OF UPCOMING PROFILES AS THE CACC CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF TITLE IX | NCAA CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF TITLE IX
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (January 10, 2023) -- In conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of Title IX across the United States, the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) -- along with the NCAA and other conferences in Division II -- will honor former female student-athletes throughout the 2022-23 season. Today's installment of 12 featured student-athletes includes Delaney Childers (Dominican University), Nicole Spiegelberg (Felician University), Stephanie Bock (Georgian Court University), Miranda Shaw (Wilmington University), Iman Williams-Mulesa (Chestnut Hill College), and Tanner Turner-Rush (Goldey-Beacom College). Today's feature also highlights the 2011 Dominican University Softball team which won the CACC Championship and advanced to the NCAA Division II Tournament.
Pioneers in women's athletics helped lead to the creation of Title IX in 1972, as the new law provided more opportunities for females across this land to compete in sports they love. The former CACC greats being profiled in this series took those early efforts to heart and turned themselves into some of the finest female student-athletes in college history.
Their greatness serves as inspiration for future generations of female student-athletes to not only meet their achievements but exceed them and continue the evolution of women's sports in the United States of America.
