MONTEVALLO, Ala. – The University of Montevallo Athletic Department has launched a new website with SIDEARM Sports to highlight intercollegiate athletics at the University.

The new website offers a viewer-friendly navigation system to maintain content previously available to Montevallo fans, including rosters, schedules, stats, news, and historical information, as well as better opportunities to showcase video and photos of student-athletes and teams.

"We are excited about partnering with SIDEARM Sports and launching a brand new MontevalloFalcons.com," said Montevallo Athletic Director Mark Richard. "The new website will enhance our ability to highlight our student-athletes at the University of Montevallo, both on the playing courts and fields, in the classroom and outside of competition. We are really proud of the finished product."

The most noticeable difference to the new MontevalloFalcons.com is the graphical redesign. The upgrades extend well beyond the new look of the site, however, as videos can now be played straight from the headlines and enhanced box scores can be viewed within game recaps.

Other features include completely revamped bio, news, roster, and schedule pages that can be quickly accessed from the top of the main page. The Falcons' social media integration is much more visible as fans can engage with each of the programs through Twitter, Facebook and Instagram directly on the front of the website.

Montevallo fans will also be able to follow the Falcons better on their mobile devices with the launching of a brand new mobile version of MontevalloFalcons.com. The mobile site is programmed to be responsive to the user's browser setting and will feature the same information and design on both smart phones and tablets.
