ST. PAUL, Minn.- As the Head Coach of the University of Northwestern Football team, Matt Moore is deep in the heart of preparations for the upcoming 2023 season. Coach Moore is also getting ready to serve another important role in 2023 as he was named the Chair of the NCAA Division III Football Championship Committee.

This is how the NCAA defines their Championship Committees: "The Championships Committee handles the oversight of Division III's championships.  The committee reports directly to Management Council on matters such as budgetary recommendations.  The committee also supervises the Division III championships qualification and selection process; reviews recommendations from sports committees regarding the administration of those championship; and reviews other issues related to the administration of championships events.  The committee meets in-person three times a year in February, May and September as well as conducting monthly teleconferences."

Coach Moore's Eagles are coming off of a very successful 2022 season. UNW finished 6-0 in Upper Midwest Athletic Conference play and made the NCAA Division III Playoffs by winning the UMAC and earning the automatic qualifying bid. Coach Moore and the Eagles will look to continue building off of that success in 2023.

UNW will open their season on the road on September 2^nd when they travel to Augsburg University. Eagle fans will have their first opportunity to see their team in action at Reynolds Field on September 9^th against Concordia-Wisconsin for the home opener.
