Wilberforce University

(Wilberforce, Ohio) – After announcing its recent inclusion to the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC) as a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Wilberforce University continues to build on its bank of blueprint sports. The university has recently included women’s volleyball and soccer to its athletics department lineup beginning in the 2024-2025 season.

“Adding women’s volleyball and soccer to our roster is another example of how sports initiatives increase enrollment and create excitement in the activities culture for our students,” said Wilberforce athletics director John Hill. “Members of these new teams will also be included in the athletics department scholarship offerings.”
