The Cal Pac is still planning for Fall sports...though we will always follow the direction of our institutional and governmental leaders. The safety of our student-athletes and staff remains paramount. Stay healthy, safe, and hopeful.
Cal Pac Presidents vote unanimously to move Fall 2020 sports to the Spring 2021 term. The NAIA Council of Presidents meets next week to discuss the implications, including a possible switch of national championships.
Calling all Cal Pac hoops qualifiers. UAV is expanded and decked out for the men’s and women’s championships. Get here already! Banquet Friday at 6 is sold out!

Congratulations to Benedictine-Mesa RedHawks, the Cal Pac men's basketball qualifier to the NAIA nationals. First time for BENU to carry the Cal Pac flag into any NAIA national tournament.
The Cal Pac Directors Council is suspending athletic operations indefinitely. The league leadership will monitor the on-going trends closely with the hope of an eventual resumption of spring competition and championships.
Benedictine-Mesa's baseball victory over British Columbia was the Redhawks' 40th of the season. They become the first Cal Pac team since baseball became a championship sport to hit that magic number. Congrats, Ben U.
