The Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) has announced Presentation College as the newest affiliate member of the league.
The Saints of Presentation College, located in Aberdeen, South Dakota, will join the GPAC as an affiliate in the sports of women’s and men’s soccer beginning with the 2018-19 academic year.

Presentation, members of the North Star Athletic Association (NSAA), will play all their conference soccer games (women and men) in the GPAC starting next season (2018). They will play a full regular season schedule and be eligible for the conference tournament at the end of the season.

The addition of Presentation will increase the women’s teams for soccer to 13 next year (with the University of Jamestown (UJ) as a full member) and the men’s teams for soccer to 12 (with UJ also as a first-year full member). Both genders will qualify for two (2) automatic berths under the NAIA Direct Qualification plans. The NAIA allots two berths for every 12 teams in the sport of soccer.
