Pacific announced Thursday that it would be leaving the Big West Conference for the West Coast Conference beginning in the 2013-14 school year.
Pacific will return to the WCC after leaving the league for the Big West (formerly known as the Pacific Coast Athletic Association) over 40 years ago.
Pacific’s announcement comes as the Big West prepares to add Hawaii as a member starting next year and San Diego State starting in 2013.
Sacramento State will also be joining the Big West for men’s soccer only beginning with the 2012 season.
