The Senators were previously members of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC), joining as a founder in 1924 and remaining as a member until it was disbanded in 2012. Davis & Elkins was then forced to join the G-MAC after the football-playing members of the WVIAC formed the MEC. The Senators remained in the G-MAC until 2019, when the Mountain East added Davis & Elkins to replace Shepherd University.
