Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference was an eight-member college athletics conference founded in 1995 and given official status in 1999. It competed in NCAA Division III and as its name implies, only offered championships in women's sports. In the conference's later years, several of its members finally became co-educational. Following the 2006-2007 season these members, seeking homes for their newly-created men's athletic programs departed for other conferences. Other members also switched affiliations, leaving the conference without enough members to be officially sanctioned. Following the 2007 spring season, the conference ceased operations.
