A-STATE/NYIT HISTORY
• A-State and NYIT have never met in baseball so this weekend’s series will mark the first matchups between the two schools.
• The universities have a strong academic connection. The NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine is located in Wilson Hall on the Jonesboro campus of Arkansas State University. It is dedicated to patient-centered, population-based osteopathic medical care and began in August of 2016. It is the first osteopathic medical school in the state.
• The New York Institute of Technology is located in Old Westbury, N.Y., which is on Long Island.
