Marian University-Ancilla Athletics

The athletic program competes in the NCCAA, a Christian college conference that emphasizes character development alongside competition. With 147 athletes across 13 varsity sports, nearly 68% of the student body participates in athletics. This unusually high participation rate reflects the school's small size of just 217 students and strong athletic culture. The NCCAA provides a middle ground between major college sports and recreational play, offering athletic scholarships totaling $555,020 while maintaining academic focus. Teams compete regionally against other faith-based institutions. The Chargers field both men's and women's teams in sports like basketball, soccer, and volleyball. With a 10:1 student-faculty ratio, athletes receive personalized attention from coaches who often double as professors or staff members.
