Stonehill College will move from competing in the Northeast Conference to the Metro Conference for the 2027-2028 season. Stonehill has both a men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs as they added a men’s team for the 2026-2027 season.
“Joining the Metro Conference marks an exciting milestone for Stonehill College as we continue to build our Division I identity,” said Dean O’Keefe, Stonehill associate vice president and director of athletics. “The Metro is an outstanding fit for Stonehill, providing exceptional competitive opportunities while reflecting our shared commitment to academic excellence and student-athlete success. Expanding our presence in vibrant markets throughout the region will create new opportunities to engage our alumni, increase Stonehill’s visibility, and introduce future generations of Skyhawks to the distinctive educational experience our College provides. We look forward to renewing historic rivalries, building new relationships, and leveraging this opportunity to elevate Stonehill’s profile, enhance the student-athlete experience, and continue our ascent in Division I athletics.”
The addition of Stonehill brings the Metro conference to 14 full member institutions for the 2027-2028 season, the most in Conference history. The Metro conference is formerly known as the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) and changed its name for the 2026-2027 season. Stonehill is the Metro’s 5th new member since 2022 as the program also added Mount St. Mary’s in 2022, Merrimack and Sacred Heart in 2024, and Le Moyne in 2027.
Stonehill began its transition to Division I in summer 2022 and finished reclassification to full Division I status this past July. Originally home to just a women’s swimming program, the women’s swim program added a diving squad during the 2025-2026 season. Last November, the school announced it would add a men’s swimming and diving program. The announcement came after the November 12, 2025 early signing date.
The men’s program has one diver on its roster this season and is coached by Diana Matthews who was hired at the start of August. She took over the program after previous head coach Matthew Distler resigned from his head coaching position in July to pursue a job outside of coaching.
