Schedule of Upcoming Profiles as the CACC Celebrates 50 Years of Title IX | NCAA Celebrates 50 Years of Title IX

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - - In conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of Title IX across the United States, the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) will honor former female student-athletes throughout the 2022-23 season. Today's installment of 12 featured student-athletes includes Megan Ferrick (Wilmington University), Maegen Doyle (University of Bridgeport), Costanza Mecchi (Concordia College), Lindsey Iden (Holy Family University), Jerae Keli'ikoa (Bloomfield College) and Rebecca Ryan (Caldwell University). Today's feature also highlights the 2021-22 Chestnut Hill College Women's Basketball team which 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 that will be 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 an 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
