Le Moyne announces it will join the NEC (DI) this fall. President LeMura: "The move to Division I and the Northeast Conference is a milestone event for Le Moyne College. Since the College's founding in 1946, athletics has been a vital component of our Jesuit ideal of cura personalis - care for the mind, body and soul. By making this move, we are building on a strong foundation of excellence that has been a hallmark of our student-athletes and our programs." NEC Commissioner Morris: "During our membership evaluation process, it became abundantly clear there was tremendous mission alignment between the NEC and Le Moyne from an academic, athletic and community perspective. I would like to thank President Linda LeMura, Board Chair Pete DiLaura and Athletic Director Bob Beretta for their leadership through this process. Due to their significant planning and preparation, it's evident the Dolphins are poised to make the jump to Division I. We look forward to kicking off our relationship this fall." (link)
