Teams representing Mercyhurst University, most of which compete in the PSAC for now. Five of its teams are either de jure or de facto Division I members—women's bowling, men's and women's ice hockey, and men's and women's water polo. The rest of the Lakers' teams will move to Division I in July 2024, with the university joining the Northeast Conference.
The Mercyhurst Lakers are the 24 intercollegiate athletic teams representing Mercyhurst University, located in Erie, Pennsylvania. The Lakers compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I and are members of the Northeast Conference for most sports. The men's and women's ice hockey teams are members of Atlantic Hockey America, formed shortly after the 2023–24 season by the merger of the men's former home of the Atlantic Hockey Association and the women's former home of College Hockey America. The men's and women's water polo teams play in the Collegiate Water Polo Association.
