INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - American Southwest Conference members Mary Hardin-Baylor and East Texas Baptist have been selected to host three NCAA Division III Championships over the next five years.

UMHB will join with the Houston-Harris County Sports Authority to host the 2024 Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, the NCAA Division III National Championship Game. That game will be played at Turner Stadium in Humble, Texas. The UMHB athletic department also co-hosted the 2018 and 2019 Stagg Bowls with the City of Shenandoah, Texas.
 
UMHB will also co-host the 2025 NCAA Division III Women's Golf National Championship. That tournament will be played at Bay Oaks Country Club in Houston and UMHB will again share hosting duties with the Houston/Harris County Sports Authority. UMHB has also played host to the 2016, 2017 and 2019 NCAA Division III Women's Golf National Championships and is also scheduled to host the 2022 NCAA Division III Women's Golf National Championship.

ETBU has been selected to host the 2023 NCAA Division III National Softball Championship at Taylor Field.
 
Originally constructed in 1998, Taylor Field has continually been improved to ensure a quality environment. In 2017, Tiger Softball completed fundraising for a facility enhancement campaign to secure the funds for the nationally-awarded 3,000 square foot Tiger Softball Clubhouse and athletic complex as it stands today, featuring a locker room for 32 student-athletes, coaches' offices, and lounge/den area for team meetings, academic study, and student-athlete fellowship. In addition to the clubhouse, ETBU upgraded Taylor Field with an artificial playing surface by Symmetry Sports Construction of Mt. Pleasant, Texas in the infield and outfield, a new padded outfield/foul territory walls for enhanced player safety, backstop netting, handicapped-access stands in the left and right fields, and a berm for additional seating in center field. Along with the pristine first-class accommodations available at ETBU's softball complex, the University plans for grandstands expansion and other facility improvements in anticipation of necessary seating for the 2023 NCAA Division III National Tournament which is scheduled for May 25-30, 2023. The NCAA has selected more than 450 host sites for preliminary rounds and finals of predetermined championships in Divisions I, II and III to be held from 2023 through 2026 from over 3,000 bid submissions to host, and ETBU was successful in its national tournament host bid selection through providing a first-class facility with the capacity to host these highly-coveted championships.

Former ASC member UT Tyler played host to the 2019 NCAA Division III Softball Championship.
