The Missouri S&T Miners (variously S&T or Missouri Miners) are the athletic teams that represent the Missouri University of Science and Technology, located in Rolla, Missouri, in intercollegiate sports as a member of the Division II level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), primarily competing in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) for most of its sports since the 2005–06 academic year; while its men's swimming team competes in the New South Intercollegiate Swim Conference (NSISC).[4] The Miners and Lady Miners previously competed in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) from 1935–36 to 2004–05; and in the Missouri College Athletic Union (MCAU) of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) from 1924–25 to 1932–33.

Overview

Until 1964, the school was known as the "Missouri School of Mines", and until 2008 it was the "University of Missouri—Rolla". The nickname "Miner", or a variation of it, is common at mining schools in many states. Missouri S&T's official school colors are silver and gold; the color green has historic relevance and is also used prominently.[5]

Varsity sports

Missouri S&T competes in 17 intercollegiate varsity sports (10 for men, 7 for women): Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming, track & field (indoor and outdoor)[a] and volleyball; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, track & field (indoor and outdoor),[a] volleyball and spirit squad. Former sports included women's golf. As of July 2022, men's volleyball became the 17th varsity sport in the 2023 spring season (2022–23 school year).[6]

Notes
  1. ^ a b The NCAA classifies indoor and outdoor track & field, both sponsored by S&T for both men and women, as two separate sports. Indoor championships are held in the NCAA's winter season and outdoor championships in the spring season.

Baseball

The baseball team won the GLVC West division title in 2011, 2012 and 2016.[7][8] The baseball team also won a share of the GLVC regular season title in 2019, tying with Maryville University and Quincy University.
