When Saint Anselm College athletics move to NCAA Division III in the 2027-28 school year, the men's and women's hockey and golf programs will become members of the Little East Conference.
Saint Anselm will begin its transition to Division III from Division II starting in 2027-28. Its athletics programs will be eligible to compete for D-III championships starting in 2029-30 after completing the NCAA's reclassification process.
The New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) will be the Hawks' primary conference starting in the 2027-28 school year.
The men's and women's golf teams and men's hockey teams will play their final seasons in the Division II Northeast-10 Conference this season. The women's hockey team will compete this winter in the New England Women's Hockey Alliance (NEWHA), of which it is a founding member.
"Saint Anselm has a strong tradition of success across its athletic programs, and we're confident the Hawks will bring a high level of competition to the LEC in each of these four sports," LEC Commissioner Albert D. Bean, Jr. said in a statement.
