Edgewood College Athletics

Edgewood competes in NCAA Division III, where sports focus on personal development rather than scholarships or packed stadiums. With 331 athletes across 22 varsity sports, about 30% of the 1,104-student body participates in athletics. The Eagles compete in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference alongside other Midwest liberal arts colleges. Division III emphasizes the student-athlete experience over commercial athletics, meaning no athletic scholarships beyond the $22,500 in general athletic aid available. The small campus creates tight-knit team communities where athletes often compete in multiple sports or stay involved after graduation. Basketball and soccer tend to draw the most campus attention during their seasons. The athletic programs reflect the college's Catholic mission of developing the whole person through competition and teamwork.
