On the heels of announcements from all of our DIII member institutions and their respective conferences, NIRA DIII regular and postseason competition will be suspended for the fall of 2020.

This affects the following programs:

Bowdoin College – New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC)

NIRA DIII athletic directors will convene in August to begin discussions on potential options for spring 2021.
