Athletics at SU
Caves Sports and Wellness Center, Owings Mills Gymnasium, Mustang Stadium, and Fitness Facilities
Stevenson's athletic facilities are among the best in Division III. To accommodate its growth and expansion, the University opened its Owings Mills campus in 2004. Two years later, it acquired the former headquarters and practice facility for both the NFL's former Baltimore Colts and two-time Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens.
The Caves Athletics Complex, a 60,000 square foot modern facility, is located on the Owings Mills campus and serves the needs of more than 800 student athletes as well as the general student body. On-campus facilities include the Caves Sports and Wellness Center, Owings Mills Gymnasium, and Mustang Stadium.
The first floor of the Caves Sports and Wellness Center features a fully-equipped fitness center, racquetball court, athletic offices, and athletic training room and team rooms. The second floor is dedicated to classrooms, a commuter student lounge, The John L. Stasiak Academic Link, and a student computer lab as well as faculty and staff offices. It also houses the Caves Wellness Center. The Owings Mills Gymnasium is located adjacent to the Caves Sports and Wellness Center on the Owings Mills campus. Designed to host NCAA Division III playoffs, the gym is 15,000 square feet, has a hardwood floor, and seats approximately 1,500 spectators.
There are three fitness centers available for student use, including two on the Owings Mills campus. The first is located in the Caves Sports and Wellness Center and the second is on the third floor of Mustang Stadium. The third fitness center is located on the Greenspring campus on the bottom floor of the Manuszak Center. To access each fitness center, students must have their SU One card.
Intercollegiate Athletics
Stevenson University participates in NCAA Division III as a member of the Middle Atlantic Conferences (MAC) with the exception of men's volleyball, men's and women's ice hockey, and sand volleyball. Men's volleyball competes in the Continental Volleyball Conference, while men's and women's ice hockey compete in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), and women's sand volleyball competes as an independent. The Mustangs are also affiliated with the ECAC for all sports, which provides for additional post season opportunities besides the NCAA championships.
Those interested in participating on one of Stevenson's 27 intercollegiate athletic teams should contact the head coach of that sport using the staff directory under "Inside Athletics" on the athletics website at GoMustangSports.com. You can find information on the paperwork required by athletic training and compliance information for transfers and first-year student athletes there as well.
Club Sports
Club sports have been established to promote and develop students' interests and skills in a particular sport. Each sport is organized by a group consisting of the program director, a part-time coach, and student leaders. They hold structured practices and compete against other colleges/universities to enhance team members' experience at Stevenson and to provide a vehicle for a well-rounded education through physical, social, and leadership development. Club sports are open to all, from the beginner to the advanced player.
Current club sports include baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, game day cheerleading, field hockey, men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse, women's soccer, softball, and women's volleyball. If you are interested in joining any of these teams or are interested in learning how to start a team of your own, please contact Matt Grimm (Director, Campus Recreation) by e-mail at mgrimm@stevenson.edu or phone at 443-352-4280.
