Women's Soccer Team to be Deactivated
November 9, 2007: Western Nevada College has reluctantly made the decision to deactivate its successful intercollegiate women's soccer team due to a lack of conference teams in the sport. Changes in the Scenic West Athletic Conference have made it impossible for Western to offer its soccer student athletes a true soccer season, as the number of teams in the conference has shrunk to only two – Western Nevada and North Idaho College. The college is committed to offering an intercollegiate women's athletics program from among the existing core SWAC sports. Softball and volleyball are under consideration. More Information.
