Augustana
The Augustana Vikings were admitted as the 9th member of the conference on May 17, 2022 with 2023–24 being the first season of play for the program.[2] In the first two seasons, the team would play a transitional schedule by facing the other league members twice each year for a total of 16 games. While this will prevent the team from participating in the conference tournament, the Vikings are still eligible to be selected for the NCAA tournament.[3]
Coaches
Augustana hired Garrett Raboin as the team's head coach in 2022 and began its first season of play this year.[4]
Luke Strand was hired as the head coach for Minnesota State, replacing the departed Mike Hastings.[5]
