Jason Zeigler recently won his school-record 25th career game for Alvernia.
Alvernia has accepted an invitation to join the Middle Atlantic Conference and will enter the league for the 2008-09 academic year.
The school leaves the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, which has also lost Arcadia and Misericordia from its baseball lineup. Centenary, which joins the league, will bring the PAC back up to six baseball teams.
Misericordia was also invited to join the MAC, sources tell D3sports.com. If the PAC doesn't return to seven baseball teams within two years, it could lose its automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Miseri's administration was not available to make an announcement as of Thursday morning.
Schools began changing affiliation in the fall of 2005, when MAC Commonwealth members Juniata, Moravian and Susquehanna announced they would leave the MAC for football and play that sport elsewhere. The three later joined in forming a new conference, the Landmark Conference, which also took two from the Capital, one from the Skyline and two from the MAC Freedom.
The Capital added two schools, including Wesley from the PAC and Villa Julie from the NEAC. The PAC added two schools, taking Centenary from the Skyline and Notre Dame (Md.), a women's school, from the defunct AWCC. The MAC added Arcadia from the PAC and Manhattanville from the Skyline. The Skyline added three, while the NEAC has added two AWCC schools and a future provisional D-III member.
