Hello UC Sports Fans,
UC’s commitment “to educate each student for a life of productive work, enlightened living, and community involvement” is a mission that brings to each student countless opportunities and real responsibilities. Athletics plays a vital role in the life of the University and in accomplishing our mission. Teamwork, fitness, community involvement, competition, initiative, dependability, and leadership are some of the many life-long learning opportunities acquired through athletics.
The university’s women’s soccer team provides growth experiences for student athletes and visibility for the university. We have a strong tradition of athletic success. We have championship teams and each year we are at the top of the standings for the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference President’s Cup and Commissioner’s Cup. The hallmark of UC athletics is combining the zeal to have the most successful teams with the expectation that each student athlete will represent the University superbly every day and everywhere.
The University of Charleston is committed to providing the best possible experiences for our students and also to providing exciting spectator and involvement opportunities for residents of the greater Charleston community. I wish you and all of our talented student athletes the very best.
Sincerely,
Dr. Edwin H. Welch President

The University of Charleston was founded by the Southern Methodist denomination in 1888 as Barboursville Seminary in Barboursville, West Virginia, and became a college in 1889. In 1901, it was renamed Morris Harvey College in honor of a prominent donor. During the Great Depression, the college moved to Charleston to take advantage of the larger metropolitan area. As a result of the merger between the Methodist church North and South, the college disaffiliated from the denomination and Morris Harvey College became independent in 1942. From 1935 to 1947, the college was located in downtown Charleston, holding classes in several separate buildings. During these years, the college grew steadily, in part because of a merger with Kanawha Junior College and an affiliation with the Mason College of Fine Arts and Music. Recognizing the need for a unified campus, in 1947 construction of the present facilities began on the south bank of the Kanawha River. The Board of Trustees changed the name from Morris Harvey College to the University of Charleston on December 13, 1978. Today, the University still benefits from its location in the dynamic capital city and from the beauty of West Virginia's hills. Proximity to the seat of government, to the state's largest medical, commercial, and financial centers and to major research and manufacturing facilities provides excellent opportunities for experiential learning. The University serves the community as a focal point for numerous intellectual, scientific, cultural, athletic, and civic events. These interactions between the University and the community are vital to the achievement of the University's mission.
Our Mission: The mission of the University of Charleston is to educate each student for a life of productive work, enlightened living, and community involvement.

WVIAC Conference
Founded in 1924, the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) rates as one of the oldest leagues at the small-college level. The 16-member conference currently boasts the largest membership of any NCAA Division II league.
The current membership includes Alderson- Broaddus College, Bluefield State College, University of Charleston, Concord University, Davis & Elkins College, Fairmont State University, Glenville State College, Ohio Valley University, Salem International University, Shepherd University, West Liberty State College, West Virginia State University, West Virginia Wesleyan College and Wheeling Jesuit University. The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown and Seton Hill University joined the WVIAC for the 2006-07 season. Pitt Johnstown and Seton Hill are the WVIAC’s first out-of-state members since 1932.
The WVIAC moved into the NCAA Division II ranks in 1995 after a long affiliation with the NAIA. The conference was the only one in Division II to place a team in the national quarterfinals in men’s basketball, football and baseball during the 1998-99 academic year. In 2002 the WVIAC, along with two other conferences, became the first league to earn four bids to the NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball Championship.
The conference’s basketball tournament is one of the longest-running events in collegiate hoops; the 70th annual event was held earlier this year at the Charleston Civic Center. Attendance at the WVIAC tournament ranks among the highest in Division II. The conference also boasts a 10-station radio network for the tournament.
Women’s sports were incorporated into the WVIAC during the 1981-82 academic year as the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association was absorbed. Currently, women’s championships are offered in softball, golf, tennis, track, basketball, volleyball, cross country and soccer.
Men’s championships are conducted in football, cross country, soccer, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and track.
The league was recognized by the State Journal as one of “55 Great Things About West Virginia” in the magazine’s April edition. The WVIAC is headquartered in Princeton, WV.
