The Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference (MASCAC) was formed in 1971 for the primary purpose to provide a uniform program of intercollegiate athletics for all eight State Colleges.
The objective underlying this purpose was to create a healthy atmosphere of competition and rivalry between the colleges and their student bodies while fostering the values of cooperation, leadership, courage, self-discipline and self-reliance among the participating athletes.
The Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference is the oldest Division 3 men's and women's intercollegiate league in the nation.
Men's championships have taken place since 1972. Women's championships started in 1976. The MASCAC has evolved into a highly competitive league which annually has many of its men's and women's teams selected to regional and national postseason tournaments.
