MOUNT ST. MARY'S UNIVERSITY

ABOUT MOUNT ST. MARY'S

Nestled in the foothills of Maryland's Catoctin Mountains, Mount St. Mary's University fields 13 varsity sports across the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, serving a student body of 2,411 at an institution founded in 1808. The university's athletic program balances Division I competition with the scale of a smaller Catholic liberal arts campus, maintaining rosters across both traditionally dominant sports like men's basketball and women's volleyball alongside less common offerings such as men's golf and women's swimming & diving. This breadth reflects Mount St. Mary's commitment to providing athletic opportunities across multiple disciplines while competing in one of the Northeast's most established mid-major conferences.

Mount St. Mary's MAAC membership places the program among regionally competitive mid-Atlantic schools, with men's basketball serving as the athletics flagship. The university operates facilities suited to its enrollment size while maintaining D1 standards across all 13 sports. Women's soccer, women's basketball, and cross country programs (both men's and women's) represent significant institutional investments, as do the tennis and golf teams competing across the conference schedule. Athletic success at Mount St. Mary's reflects the balance between maintaining Catholic educational values and supporting serious collegiate athletic competition within the MAAC's competitive framework.
