Conference and Schedule

Daemen joined the top ranked American Mideast Conference (www.amc.org) in 2001-02. The conference has recently expanded and is now comprised of schools outside of Ohio. There are now 16 teams in two divisions: North and South. Daemen plays in the North. Daeman traditionally plays a tough pre-season which will include NCAA D2 opponents. Conference play begins in late November or early December but non-league opponents are scheduled in until January. Conference games (14) are often played on Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Daeman will play each team twice in its own division only, home and away. The season concludes with the AMC tourney with the top AMC South team playing the top AMC North team to determine the overall AMC champion. Both of those teams get automatic berths in the NAIA II Tournament. The next four teams in each division square off with the tourney winner getting the third and final automatic berth in the NAIA II Tournament.
