GameDay Links

Oglethorpe's sports information staff makes every effort to provide live stats and live video streams for all home events. Related links can be found below and will also be populated on the respective team's schedule page throughout each season. Please note, live stats and live streams may not begin until moments before the start of a game/match. Also, stats are unofficial until they are submitted to the NCAA, which usually happens within one hour of the completion of the contest.

Live stats are powered by Oglethorpe's website provider, SIDEARM Sports, which integrates stats and player information. Oglethorpe's primary streaming partner is Hudl, which utilizes artificial intelligence (A.I.) to track the live action. The Stormy Petrels also partner with AWRE for baseball video streaming.

Further, Oglethorpe's GameDay Links page is the one-stop shop for all relevant links for upcoming games, home and away. This page populates all links for home games as well as links provided by other host institutions when the Stormy Petrels are on the road.

Archived video of available contests are available on Oglethorpe's YouTube page in addition to Oglethorpe's former streaming partner Local Live.
