The Northeast-10 Conference is an NCAA Division II conference that was established in 1979. The NE-10 consists of 16 member institutions that are located throughout the Northeast including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont.

The institutions that make up the Northeast-10 are Adelphi University (Garden City, N.Y.), American International College (Springfield, Mass.), Assumption College (Worcester, Mass.), Bentley University (Waltham, Mass.), Franklin Pierce University (Rindge, N.H.), Le Moyne College (Syracuse, N.Y.), University of Massachusetts Lowell (Lowell, Mass.), Merrimack College (North Andover, Mass.), University of New Haven (West Haven, Conn.), Pace University (Pleasantville, N.Y.), Saint Anselm College (Manchester, N.H.), Saint Michael’s College (Colchester, Vt.), College of Saint Rose (Albany, N.Y.), Southern Connecticut State University (New Haven, Conn.), Southern New Hampshire University (Manchester, N.H.), and Stonehill College (Easton, Mass.).

The 16 member institutions are spread geographically from Syracuse, New York to Boston, Massachusetts and from Burlington, Vermont to Long Island, New York.  Many of the members are located in or around the metropolitan areas of Albany, Boston, New Haven, Worcester, and New York. 

The Conference most recently welcomed the University of New Haven in 2008 and Adelphi University in 2009, adding to the powerful union of strong academic and athletic colleges and universities.

The Northeast-10 has evolved into a membership committed to competitive athletics programs that emphasize the education on and off the field of its more than 5,500 student athletes.

Counted among the many accomplishments of our institutions are NCAA Division II National Championships in women’s basketball, field hockey, men’s lacrosse, women’s lacrosse, men’s soccer, women’s track & field, and men’s and women’s swimming & diving.

This past year, 47 teams representing the Northeast-10 saw their name on NCAA selection days as Division II national championship fields were announced.  The 47 teams represented fourteen different institutions.

During the 2010-2011 academic year, two Northeast-10 teams claimed national titles, as UMass Lowell won the field hockey championship and Adelphi won the women's lacrosse national crown.  Indivudally, New Haven's Shannon Gagne won five national titles at the indoor and outdoor track and field championship meets, Stonehill's Corey Thomas was the national champion in the high jump, and Southern Connecticut's Amanda Thomas took home the gold medal in the 200-yard individual medley at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.

The Saint Rose women's soccer team also claimed its first national championship in 2011.

From the field of play to the class room, the Northeast-10 honored a number of student-athletes for their academic accomplishments. The conference honored close to 200 student-athletes throughout the year that excelled at a high level on the field and in the classroom as members of the academic all conference teams.  Additionally, 2,917 student-athletes representing each of the sixteen schools earned a 3.0 GPA or higher and were named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll last year.

Today’s Northeast-10 Conference remains focused on complementing the academic integrity and missions of the member institutions with a commitment to a broad-based championship program, as evidenced by the 23 sports the Conference offers in championship play, the most of any Division II conference.
