Advertiser Staff
The Pacific West Conference has added its ninth member school with the addition of Dominican University of California in San Rafael.
"The Pacific West Conference is delighted and thrilled to welcome such a prestigious university as Dominican," said PacWest commissioner Bob Hogue. "Our conference is growing and Dominican will be a valuable addition."
Dominican will join the PacWest for 2008-09 as an independent before playing a full conference schedule in 2009-10.
The eight others institutions in the PacWest are: Academy of Art University (San Francisco), along with Brigham Young-Hawai'i, Chaminade, Hawai'i Pacific, Hawai'i-Hilo, Dixie State (St. George, Utah), Grand Canyon (Phoenix, Ariz.) and Notre Dame de Namur (Belmont, Calif.).
"Dominican's proximity to both NDNU and the Academy of Art University helps balance the league in terms of scheduling," Hogue said.
