LATHAM, N.Y.- Immaculata University is joining the United East Conference as an associate member in the sport of men’s volleyball beginning with the 2026 season.
United East Commissioner Stephanie Dutton announced the addition of Immaculata University following approval by the United East President’s Council meeting in November.
“We look forward to welcoming Immaculata University to the United East as our newest men’s volleyball associate member in 2026,” remarked United East Commissioner, Stephanie Dutton. “The addition of their program will continue to enhance our men’s volleyball sponsorship and helps ensure that our student-athletes have a robust and competitive conference experience.”
Immaculata played under the Continental Volleyball Conference (CVC) banner from 2019 through 2022 season where the Mighty Macs then began to compete independent from a conference affiliate.
“We are ecstatic to join the United East Conference with our men’s volleyball program. Providing our team with an opportunity to compete in a competitive conference environment is exactly the kind of experience our student-athletes deserve,” said Immaculata University Athletic Director Paul Murphy. “The conference stability in the sport, along with the geographic footprint of the United East is perfect for Immaculata University and we look forward to competing against other quality student-athletes in this new partnership.”
Immaculata men’s volleyball has been a consistent non-conference opponent for United East schools since the program began in the 2019 season.
The United East’s men’s volleyball sponsorship will have 10 members for the 2026 season. Seven full members of the United East participate in men’s volleyball: Bryn Athyn College, Cairn University, Gallaudet University, Lancaster Bible College, Saint Elizabeth University, University of Valley Forge, and Wilson College as well as Neumann University, Pratt Institute and Immaculata which will compete under the conference banner as affiliates.
