From 1994 until 2022, the team was a member of the Northeast Conference (NEC). Prior to joining the NEC, they were independent from 1981 until 1993.

History

Since joining the Northeast Conference in 1994, the Mountaineers have failed to win either a conference regular season championship or a conference tournament championship. In doing so, they have also failed to qualify for the NCAA Division I softball tournament. [3]

On April 27, 2022, it was announced that the Mountaineers would be leaving the Northeast Conference to join the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in all sports starting in the 2022–23 academic year. [4] [5] Mount St. Mary's effectively replaced the Monmouth Hawks, who departed the MAAC for the Colonial Athletic Association starting in the same year. [6]
