Jason Rule, owner of Jasmor Roofing and Contracting, has been a supporter of the NHTI women’s soccer program for years. This summer, he purchased a brand new scoreboard for the campus, not knowing it would mark a historic season for the team.
Rule has volunteered countless hours to NHTI’s soccer program — driving the women’s team to games, providing supplies, and spearheading fundraising events. In honor of his daughter’s graduation from the college, he decided to make a special gift to the college.
The brand-new scoreboard was a defining feature of home games all season, most memorably during the Yankee Small College Conference semifinals hosted on campus. That victory propelled the team to its national appearance in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association Division II Championship, where they finished as runner-up.
“Every time our players look up at this board, they’ll see the scoreboard, but they’ll also see something more: they’ll see a community that believes in them,” said Annie Mattarazzo, director of athletics at NHTI-Concord’s Community College.
The scoreboard will benefit the NHTI soccer program for years to come, underscoring the vital role community partners and alumni families play in supporting student achievement. To learn about NHTI Athletics and explore opportunities to give back, visit nhtiathletics.com.
