The Pennsylvania Collegiate Athletic Association (PCAA) was an athletic conference established in 1972 in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a partnership between the Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Association (EPCC) and Western Pennsylvania Athletic Association (WPCC).[1] The conference was established for two-year institutions. The Association ceased to exist in June 2012. Both the EPCC and the WPCC were separate entities functioning as athletic conferences, both with long-standing success and local notoriety. Both the EPCC and the WPCC governed themselves and functioned separately from one another however the EPCC champion and the WPCC champion face each other in a special post-season match to crown a PCAA champion each season within each sport. The PCAA offered competition in a total of six men's sports, six women's sports, and three co-ed team sports.
