About the NEWMAC The New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) is an association of eleven selective academic institutions that are committed to providing high quality competitive athletic opportunities for student-athletes within an educational and respectful environment that embodies the NCAA Division III philosophy. The NEWMAC was established in 1998, when the former New England Women’s 8 Conference (NEW 8) voted to begin sponsoring conference play and championships for men. At this time, the conference expanded its membership to include Springfield College and the United States Coast Guard Academy. Emerson College became the 11th full-time member of the conference on July 1, 2013. The NEW 8 began play in 1985-86 as the New England Women’s 6 Conference (NEW 6). Charter members were Babson College, Brandeis University, MIT, Smith College, Wellesley College and Wheaton College. Mount Holyoke College and WPI joined in 1988 and the name was changed to the NEW 8 Conference. At the conclusion of the 1994-95 academic year, Brandeis University withdrew from the NEW 8 to join the University Athletic Association and Clark University accepted membership, keeping the NEW 8’s membership at eight.
Welcome from the NEWMAC President On behalf of the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference, it is with pride that I welcome you to the 2016 Softball Tournament. We extend a warm welcome to all participants and coaches, as well as the families and friends who have supported the teams throughout the season. We are delighted to have you join us for this exciting championships competition. I’d like to express my appreciation to the staff at our host institutions for their efforts in facilitating this championship event, to NEWMAC Executive Director Patrick B. Summers for his work managing the conference office throughout the year, to conference Assistant Director Jen Miller-McEachern and to Coordinator of Sport Administration and Communications Taylor Teixeira. Finally, I want to thank each team and our spectators for their continued commitment to positive sportsmanship during the tournament, a value strongly endorsed by the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference throughout the year. Best wishes to all for a successful and rewarding tournament! Sincerely,
John Sutyak, NEWMAC President Director of Athletics Wheaton College
