Earlier this month, Conference Carolinas and the Southern Atlantic Conference unveiled the member institutions that will be participating in the inaugural year of women's wrestling beginning the 2024-2025 academic year.
 
The sport will be facilitated by Conference Carolinas in collaboration with the Southern Atlantic Conference. 
 
With the collaboration, member institutions from both conferences will be able to compete for a co-branded "South Atlantic Conference Carolinas" championship in women's wrestling. The inaugural academic year of the South Atlantic Conference Carolinas women's wrestling collaboration in 2024-25 will feature Emmanuel, Emory & Henry, King, Lincoln Memorial, Mount Olive and Newberry from the two conferences, with Bluefield State and Allen competing as associate members.
 
Emmanuel's Director of Wrestling, Bryce Killian had this to say about the collaboration. 
 
"We are very excited to join the Conference Carolina next year.  This is a big step for our team and the growth of Women's Wrestling in the NCAA.  We believe more conferences will continue to add women's wrestling and help develop the NCAA into the strongest women's wrestling division!"
 
Go Lions!!
