In 2027-28, the Eagles will begin competition by joining Baruch College, Brooklyn College, City College of New York, Hunter College, John Jay College, Lehman College, Medgar Evers College, Pratt Institute and York College. Saint Elizabeth, like Pratt, is a current member of the Atlantic East Conference and will end participation in that league at the end of the 2026-27 academic year. Additional expansion is expected.

鈥溌槎勾�媒 is proud to join this new Division III conference, an affiliation that reflects a shared commitment to expanding opportunity, elevating competition, and positioning our student-athletes and institutions for long-term success,鈥� said Saint Elizabeth鈥檚 president Dr. Gary B. Crosby.  鈥淭his move strengthens opportunities for competition, enhances the student experience, and supports the continued growth of our athletics program, while positioning the University to thrive in an evolving higher education landscape.鈥�

鈥淛oining the new conference marks a definitive step forward in the evolution of Saint Elizabeth Athletics. This transition is a high-level, strategic move designed to align our university with a conference that matches our ambition and our regional footprint,鈥� added Saint Elizabeth Director of Athletics James Adams.  鈥淲e are excited to build new rivalries and provide our student-athletes with a championship-caliber experience that reflects the growth and momentum of 麻豆传媒.鈥�

鈥溌槎勾�媒, as the second new future member to join this new conference, is significant for several reasons. First and foremost, they fit with our other institutions in many ways, including but not limited to geographical, sport sponsorship, and competitive levels,鈥� said CUNYAC Acting Commissioner Dr. Kurt Patberg. 鈥淚n addition, they are the second private institution, along with new member Pratt Institute, of what will hopefully be several others that see this new conference as a great fit.鈥�

Saint Elizabeth, located in Morristown, New Jersey, will bring a total of 12 NCAA Division III sports into the new conference.  The Eagles will compete in baseball, men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 basketball, men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 cross country, men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 soccer, softball, men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 outdoor track and field, and men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 volleyball.  Saint Elizabeth also sponsors STUNT as an NCAA sport.
