In the 1940s and 1950s, Saint Martin's had a college football team and a high school football team, which won the Washington Class A championship. In the 1990s, the name of the mascot was almost changed to the Ravens.
In 2008, the men's basketball team defeated Division I Colorado State of the Mountain West Conference, making it Saint Martin's' first major publicized victory over a D-I opponent.[2] In 2009, the men's soccer team seized the first team title in any sport for Saint Martin's University, winning the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
