A founding member of the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC), the Penn State Behrend Lions and the AMCC recently celebrated a "Decade of Excellence." The Behrend Lions field twenty-one varsity teams in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). They also compete in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC), the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA), and the Mason-Dixon Conference for track and field.
