HISTORICAL NOTE
Athletics at MSUM began in the late 1890s, early 1900’s with football, baseball, and basketball teams for men. The Concordia College football rivalry began in the late 1920s and continued to 2008. Soon track, tennis, golf, and wrestling gained in popularity. During World War II, the football team was suspended until 1946 due to a lack of athletes and coaches. Post-War athletics suffered because of the frequent changes in coaching staff; however baseball made its best showing during this era. During the 1960s-1980s, the men’s intercollegiate athletics program consisted of 8 sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, track and field, and wrestling. It should be noted that ice hockey made a brief appearance from 1962-1965. By the 1990s, the men’s athletic program decreased to the 5 current sport teams: basketball, cross country, football, and track and field.
Women’s athletics grew from the intramural sports program operation by the Women’s Physical Education Department and later the Women’s Athletic Association (WAA). Sports offered included field hockey, kickball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, quoits, archery, tennis, and track. It was not until the federal enactment of Title IX in 1972 that women’s athletics saw change. It required that public institutions receiving federal government funds to give equal opportunity to all students attending the institution. This meant women’s athletics had to be given the same consideration to budgets, facilities, scholarships, and personnel as men’s athletics. During the 1970s, the women’s intercollegiate athletics program consisted of 10 sports: badminton, basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, softball, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. During the 1980s, badminton, field hockey, and gymnastics were dropped to a lack of interest and added soccer. By the 1990s, the women’s athletics program consisted of the 9 current sport teams: basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and volleyball.
The original sports team name was the Peds, short for Pedegogue, which is Latin for teacher. After the fire of Old Main in 1930, a re-birth for the school came about and led to a new mascot and logo, the Dragons.
MSUM is a part of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC), which dates back to 1932 when it was called the Northern Teachers Athletic Conference. The NSIC is affiliated in NCAA Division II.
