Mary Baldwin College Athletics: Squirrels say "Tweet"

The score of today's basketball game against Southern Virginia University won't just be on the website or in the newspapers. The Athletic Department can now be found on Twitter and Blogger, as well as Facebook.

Every day, the Athletic Department sends a quick update of what's happening via Twitter, and every day that there's a game, the scores are tweeted for anyone and everyone to see. In addition to this, every week coaches blog about the upcoming Spring season. Another such blogger is Charlie Angersbach, the athletic trainer at Mary Baldwin. He writes about ways to train and exercise and stay healthy. "I've seen an increase in the number of girls coming to the weight room," he said. "I hope this will help them."

"I enjoy doing them [the blogs] and I think it's good for people following what we're doing," said Coach Christie Shelton, the softball coach.

The active blogs now for Mary Baldwin are the blogs for the Softball team, Tennis team, and Charlie's fitness blog.
