Missouri S&T Miners


The Missouri S&T 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, primarily competing in the Great Lakes Valley Conference for most of its sports since the 2005–06 academic year; its men's swimming team competed in the New South Intercollegiate Swim Conference before the GLVC began to sponsor swimming as a championship sport. Men's volleyball, added in 2022–23, competed as an independent through the 2025 season, after which the GLVC will start sponsoring that sport.
The Miners previously competed in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association from 1935–36 to 2004–05; and in the Missouri College Athletic Union of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics from 1924–25 to 1932–33.

Men's

Missouri S&T began men's volleyball play in the 2023 season. 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 eight inaugural teams.
