Middle Atlantic Conference
The Middle Atlantic Conference combines schools from both the MAC Commonwealth and MAC Freedom and is currently used for cross country, flag football, football, women's golf, ice hockey, track & field (indoor / outdoor), swimming, men's volleyball, and wrestling. The MAC officially sponsored men's and women's ice hockey for many years, but the addition of Neumann and Wilkes as affiliate members gave the conference an automatic qualifier for the NCAA Tournament. The first MAC ice hockey tournaments took place in March 2025. Previously, the MAC used the regular-season results of UCHC games involving all MAC members to extrapolate a MAC champion (the same model used by the Ivy League, which has a similar relationship with ECAC Hockey).
