PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. – Plattsburgh State athletics director Bruce Delventhal named Stephanie Dutton to the interim position of assistant sports information director on Thursday. Dutton replaces Julia Hada who left in June for her alma mater Heidelberg University as the Social Media Director.

Dutton will primarily work as the Cardinals social media coordinator and be the day-to-day media contact for the women’s soccer, women’s tennis, cross country, track & field, ice hockey and softball programs.

She comes to Plattsburgh from the world of minor league baseball as she was an assistant in the ticket and marketing offices for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Dutton graduated cum laude with a degree in mathematics from Plattsburgh in 2006. She received a master’s sports management degree from Cortland State two years later.

During her undergraduate years, the Plattsburgh native worked for the Cardinals as an administrative assistant and student manager at the Field House. Dutton executed men’s hockey ticket sales, oversaw student game-day personnel, assisted in athletic department reconciliations, organized arena advertising contracts and helped in the administration of NCAA and conference tournaments.

Dutton also has work experience with the Binghamton Mets, Cortland Alumni Ice Arena and USA Hockey Development Camps.
