DOVER, Del. – The Wesley College athletic department announced Thursday that the school will end its 12-year membership in the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) at the conclusion of the 2017-18 academic year to become a charter member of the newly formed Atlantic East Conference (AEC) on July 1, 2018.
The Wesley Wolverines (1,384 undergrads) will join the ► Cabrini University Cavaliers (1650 undergrads), ► Gwynedd Mercy University Griffins (2,035 undergrads), ► Immaculata University Mighty Macs (1,555 undergrads), ► Marymount University (no softball team), ► Marywood University Pacers (1,931 undergrads) and ► Neumann University Knights (2,278 undergrads) to become founding members of the AEC.

"Wesley College is proud and excited to be part of the newly formed Atlantic East Conference," said Wesley College President Robert E. Clark II. "The AEC is made up of private faith-based institutions with similar values and a common goal of providing the best competitive and educational opportunities for our student-athletes, and potential student-athletes in our region."
All of Wesley's NCAA-sponsored sports will compete in the Atlantic East except football, which will remain an associate member of the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC).
