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; its men's swimming team competed in the New South Intercollegiate Swim Conference (NSISC) before the GLVC began to sponsor swimming as a championship sport.[4] Men's volleyball, added in 2022–23, competes as an independent through the 2025 season (2024–25 school year), after which the GLVC will start sponsoring that sport.
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]
† – Track and field includes both indoor and outdoor
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 men's wrestling, women's tennis and 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]
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.

Men's
Missouri S&T began men's volleyball play in the 2023 season (2022–23 school year). Unlike all other S&T teams, men's volleyball is a de facto Division I member. The NCAA's top-level national championship in that sport is open to both D-I and D-II members, and scholarship limits are identical in both divisions. The Miners are competing as an independent through the 2025 season, after which the GLVC will start sponsoring the sport with S&T as one of the seven inaugural teams.[27]
