The Men's DII college season gets well and truly underway this weekend with four conferences in action in some form or other.

Towson University Switches Conferences

Towson University will be joining the MARC in the fall of 2019 and competing in the MARC's D1AA division.

Towson was for years an accomplished DII team until it combined with other DII, DI, and NSCRO teams to form the Chesapeake Conference three years ago. The Chesapeake was a huge success, but meanwhile, the MARC has been moving a bit further South in the teams that compete.
