  • a competitive and compatible game schedule.
  • a strong relationship with high schools – especially Maine high schools

  • support for the needs of minority student athletes
  • an opportunity for young men and women, who represent the University on the playing field, to achieve greater personal enrichment through participation in quality intercollegiate athletic competition.
