History

The Wildcats compete mainly in NCAA Division II and are part of the East Coast Conference (ECC) since the 2013–14 school year. They formerly competed in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) as part of the now-defunct American Midwest Conference (AMC) from 2001–02 to 2011–12; as well as an Independent during its transition to D-II in the 2012–13 school year.

Two Daemen sports compete as de facto NCAA Division I members. Women's triathlon, part of the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women program, is not part of the NCAA's divisional structure. Daemen competes as an independent in that sport. In men's volleyball, the NCAA holds a combined national championship for Divisions I and II. The Wildcats joined the D-I Northeast Conference as an associate member starting with the 2023 season (2022–23 school year). [1]
