The Tidewater Summer League would like to recognize and congratulate our 2022 Broadcaster of the Year, Luke Meli, Temple University

Luke Meli, Director of Broadcasting & Media Relations

Luke Meli is an rising senior at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he is a media studies and production major. He has worked as a play-by-play announcer for many Temple sports including basketball, football, and hockey. He has experience calling baseball, softball, volleyball, and women’s lacrosse for other universities in the northeast. He also works on Temple’s sports tv show, OwlSports Update, as an anchor and reporter. His dream is to be the play-by-play announcer of a professional sports team, and this will be his first taste of working directly for a team.

Earning the 2022 TSL Broadcaster of the Year award during his first season working directly for a collegiate summer team, Luke showed his experience and education had him prepared for the challenge, and his willingness to put in the hard work, make sacrifices and remain dedicated to his craft not only provided Steamers fans and players an outstanding game broadcast, he was able to capture the spirit of the 2022 Championship Season, with all of it’s highs and lows, and did so with professionalism and a flair that exceeded all expectations.

Congratulations Luke Meli, the 2022 TSL Broadcaster of the Year.
