Luther College to Join Midwest Conference for 2026-27 Academic Year

Share

The Midwest Conference announced on Tuesday that Luther College will join the league beginning with the 2026-27 academic year.

Monmouth College is excited to welcome the Norse to the Midwest Conference as another quality opponent in all 18 MWC-sponsored sports. The Fighting Scots and Norse have met in a variety of sports over the last five decades with spirited contests in both regular season action and NCAA playoff competition.

The addition of Luther College gives the Scots a third opponent in Iowa, as the school joins Grinnell College and Cornell College. Monmouth to Decorah, Iowa, is 230 miles, giving the Scots seven conference trips within a four-hour radius.

“Luther has a great tradition of strong athletics and academics,” said Director of Athletics Roger Haynes. “They will be another great partner for Monmouth College and the Midwest Conference. We look forward to welcoming the Norse and their fans to the Maple City in 2026.”
