Conference momentumWhich PAC schools use Echo Replay?

Five Presidents' Athletic Conference institutions now use Echo Replay: Saint Francis University, Allegheny College, Westminster College, Thiel College and Geneva College.

Saint Francis joins Allegheny, Westminster, Thiel and Geneva in using Echo Replay's replay technology. The continued growth within the PAC reflects the conference's commitment to enhancing the student-athlete experience through innovation, accuracy, and fairness in competition.

As collegiate athletics continues to evolve, Challenge Review technology is becoming an increasingly valuable tool for institutions of every size. Echo Replay makes that technology accessible with an affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use replay solution built for athletic departments that do not want the expense and complexity traditionally associated with replay systems.

One platform, every seasonWhat sports does Echo Replay support?

Echo Replay supports volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, wrestling and lacrosse – seven sports on a single replay platform.

Echo Replay's growth has been strongest in volleyball, but the platform is not volleyball-specific. One system serves multiple sports across the academic year, so an athletic department does not have to buy or learn a separate replay setup for each program it sponsors.

What one Echo Replay system covers
  • Volleyball – men's and women's, the fastest-growing side of Echo Replay's collegiate business
  • Basketball – buzzer, shot clock and out-of-bounds reviews
  • Baseball & Softball – tags, catches and boundary calls
  • Soccer, Wrestling, Lacrosse – multi-angle review in one setup
  • Affordable – priced for departments outside Division I budgets
  • Portable – moves venue to venue across a season
  • Dependable – built for live competition, not a broadcast truck
  • Easy to run – student staff can operate it after a short walkthrough

Division II, Division III, NAIAIs replay review only for Division I?

No. Echo Replay serves NCAA Division I, II and III programs along with NAIA and junior college departments, and its fastest growth is in Division III.

The addition of Saint Francis highlights Echo Replay's continued expansion across NCAA Division III while it builds a growing presence in NCAA Division II and the NAIA. More institutions are recognizing that professional-quality Challenge Review is no longer exclusive to Division I athletics. Student-athletes, coaches, officials, and fans all benefit from greater confidence that critical moments can be reviewed accurately.

"Our goal has always been to provide replay technology that is affordable, portable, and dependable."

Heath Kufahl, Director of Sales, Echo Replay

"We're honored that more institutions continue to place their trust in Echo Replay," said Heath Kufahl, Director of Sales for Echo Replay. "Our goal has always been to provide replay technology that is affordable, portable, and dependable, allowing schools of every size to deliver a championship-level experience for their student-athletes."

As Echo Replay prepares for another collegiate season, the company remains committed to expanding access to Challenge Review technology across all levels of athletics. Every new partnership is another opportunity to improve competitive integrity and give schools replay solutions designed specifically for the collegiate environment.
