The Purple Knights compete as members of the Northeast-10 Conference for most sports. Two teams compete as de facto Division I members. In skiing, a coeducational sport with a single NCAA team championship for all three divisions, the co-ed teams are part of the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association. In women's ice hockey, which has a combined Division I/II national championship, the Purple Knights are a member of the New England Women's Hockey Alliance.
