Bryn Athyn College soccer programs shuttered by decision to discontinue NCAA athletics
Men’s and women’s soccer will not continue as NCAA sports at Bryn Athyn College after a decision by the school administration to discontinue all 11 of its NCAA Division III intercollegiate sports.
News of the decision was announced in a letter from the president to the college community on Wednesday.
“This decision is a necessary step for our survival,” President Sean Connelly wrote. “To ensure this institution, rooted in a distinctive vision almost 150 years old, can thrive for the next 150 years.”
The athletic programs will all transition to club sports, Connelly wrote.
Bryn Athyn’s men’s program dates back to 2011 and the women’s program to 2016. Bill O’Neill, a former national champion at Rowan University and member of the Southeaster PA Soccer Hall of Fame, has coached both teams since 2016. The teams competed in the United East Conference.
