FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern Baseball Complex has received the Pioneer Athletics 2010 Field of Excellence Award for the second straight year, as announced by Pioneer Athletics.

“This is great because this award is not just for division II but for Division I and fields all around the world,” said Athletics Grounds Supervisor Thai Nguyen. “We have one of the best fields in the nation.”

The Field of Excellence Award honors outstanding athletic fields and the hardworking field crews who diligently maintain them. Nguyen and his crew received the 2009 award as well.

Nguyen credits the award to the hard work and preparation his crew takes before every season starts. He also credits his team’s due diligence of rebuilding the field every year as they do with all the outdoor athletic facilities on campus.

The NSU Baseball Complex is considered by many to be one of the finest baseball facilities in South Florida. This fully-lit complex features an immaculate playing field with two outdoor batting cages. The grandstand seating can accommodate 500 people and has a fully functional press box. The Baseball Complex has been the site of USA Baseball team trials and Major League Team pre-draft workouts.

The complex is located on SW 75th Avenue next two the Miami Dolphins Training Facility and the University School.
