The Division III soccer season is in full swing and then some and we're glad that more and more people are finding our new site. For those of you who are new, here's what we're about.

Jim Matson, our managing editor, has written about Division III soccer before and has been wanting to do a site like this for a while now. He'd been talking to us about doing a weekly soccer column for D3sports.com since before we had D3sports.com up and running.

Instead, Jim seized the moment last fall and bought the D3soccer.com domain name. Although we are still adding to the site, most of the major functions are in place, including:

Scores. Thanks to our partnership with PrestoSports, we have Division III soccer scores for about 20 conferences, right around half of Division III. Click here for scores, or visit the Scoreboard link on the left-hand menu rail.

Forum. Or message board, if you prefer. If you're already a member of our Division III basketball, baseball or football boards at D3boards.com, you're set to post right now. Otherwise, you do need to register to join the Division III men's soccer and Division III women's soccer discussions. But we turn around all registrations in under 24 hours and most of them in under 6 hours. The registration is partly so we can keep spammers from flooding the boards with sales pitches. (When you register, make sure you read the Terms of Service and your mailbox is set to receive mail from us.)

Top stories. You can't miss these -- these are the wrapups of days of action on the front page that Jim assembles, using his experience and expertise in Division III soccer news.

Game stories. Sports Information Directors have the ability to log in and post game stories and other news releases directly on our site, and more and more of them do on a regular basis. These are stories from around Division III and can be found directly on the home page, between the top story and the second story on the front.

Daily Dose. As in, the blog, with the box and links to the most recent posts in the upper right-hand corner. This is where other items of interest will be posted, such as rankings, notes and other items that might generate discussion. You'll need to register to post but it's a quick process and your e-mail doesn't appear with your comments.
