MEDIA INFORMATION MEDIA RELATIONS OFFICE
MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME
The media relations office is located in the press box on the west concourse of the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome. The phone number is (928) 523-6792 or 6330, and the fax number is 6793.
Arizona does not recognize Daylight Savings Time. As a result, Flagstaff time coincides with the Pacific time zone through Nov. 6. The rest of the season, Flagstaff is compatible with the Mountain time zone (Eastern time minus two hours).
INTERVIEWS All player interviews MUST be coordinated through the media relations office at least one day in advance. NO interviews or photo shoots will be conducted the day of a match prior to first serve. Out-of-town media should contact media relations to arrange phone interviews. Players will be available for interviews following practice and, if prior arrangements have been made, before practice. The NAU locker room and training room are closed to media. Head coach Craig Choate and his staff are generally available for interviews after practice. To set up personal and phone interviews at other times, contact the media relations office at 928-523-6330 to set up the session. To confirm practice times each day, contact media relations.

Daily workouts are generally closed to the public due to space constraints, but media members are allowed upon confirmation of practice times with the media relations office. Generally, practice starts at 2 p.m. in Rolle Activity Center, though the schedule could change without prior notice.
The media relations office is always compiling a media directory to send out weekly advance releases, event stories and statistics in lieu of a fax. Media members interested in this service should e-mail Andrew.Tomsky@nau.edu. Game notes will be available on the website prior to that week’s matches. Call Andrew Tomsky at 928-523-6330 for more information.
