Hall of Fame
The only full-time Sports Information Director in Eastern Connecticut State University history, Bob Molta is a former Little East Conference publicist and has been involved with the conference since its inception in 1986.
Since 1985, Molta spent many years coordinating publicity and statistics for the conference before the appointment of the conference’s first official publicist. A member of the College Sports Information Directors Association of America, Molta has witnessed the conference’s expansion as a basketball-only alliance to its current status as one of the top conferences in Division III, which currently sponsors 19 intercollegiate championships. Molta has coordinated publicity and statistics for the conference baseball tournament nine times since 1998, and for the Little East softball tournament three times in the last five years.
At Eastern, Molta formerly coordinated the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) weekly rankings for eight years and the New England Women’s Basketball Association (NEWBA) rating service for three years. During Molta’s tenure, Eastern has hosted the NCAA Division III national softball tournament three times and the national baseball tournament twice.
