Seven softball teams
Wolverines join new
Atlantic East Conference
The fastpitch Wolverines will find themselves for the first time in twelve years competing in a brand new softball league this coming season.
This happens after seven schools have left their conferences to join the newly formed Atlantic East Conference.
CONFERENCE TEAMS
The eight are ● CABRINI UNIVERSITY (Radnor, PA, 1686 undergrads), ● GWYNEDD MERCY UNIVERSITY (Gwynedd Valley, PA, 2,081 undergrads), ● IMMACULATA UNIVERSITY (Immaculata, PA, 1,482 undergrads), ● NEUMANN UNIVERSITY (Aston, PA, 2,085 undergrads) and ● MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY (Scranton, PA, 1,960 undergrads) from the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC), ● MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY (Arlington, VA, 2,305 undergrads) and our Wolverines, ● WESLEY COLLEGE (Dover, DE, 1,446 undergrads), from the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC). HOWEVER, Marymount is the single member without a softball team.
Jessica Huntley is the founding commissioner.
