2 Misericordia Is Division III Misericordia University is a member of the NCAA Division III. The largest of the NCAA s three divisions, Division III promotes a wellrounded approach to intercollegiate athletics participation. While Division III is best known by some for what it doesn t offer athletics scholarships it has plenty to offer. Knowing that Division III student-athletes play for the love of the game, the D-III experience is structured to help participants develop fully as students, athletes and citizens. Athletics participation at many of the 450 institutions that comprise Division III allows for student-athletes to succeed in the classroom and athletics. That certainly is true at Misericordia as student-athletes are often active in student government, residence life and other campus activities. In addition, Division III playing seasons and class schedules are designed to minimize conflicts between athletics and academics while promoting academic success. This is evidenced by MU s overall 3.26 GPA among student-athletes and 399 MAC All-Academic honorees in While Division III athletics programs promote a wide range of participation, they don t sacrifice when it comes to competition. In fact, the NCAA D-III sponsors 36 national championships annually. Misericordia is one of just two schools in the Middle Atlantic Conference to offer all 23 sports sponsored by the MAC. Misericordia has enjoyed its share of success since joining the Division III ranks in capturing 54 conference championships and sentding 30 teams to the NCAA Championships, including the women s soccer team advancing to the NCAA Final Four in In addition, several individual efforts have helped put Misericordia on the national map: Ashlee Ward, track & field: Two-time NCAA high jump champion Eric Sweeney, swimming: NCAA champion Willie Chandler, basketball: Second-leading scorer in D-III history Heather Dougherty, swimming: All-American. Amy Viti, track & field: NCAA runner-up, three-time All-American. Oniesha Clarke, track & field: two-time All-American. Reilly Wagner, track & field: two-time All-American. Sam Helmstetter, women s soccer: First-team All-American. Michelle Myers, volleyball: D-III leader in blocks per game Amy Bower, cross country: All-American Frank Redmond, track & field: All-American Kim Daniel, field hockey: Eighth all-time in D-III with 58 assists Mike Murphy, baseball: D-III single-game record with eight hits Founded in 1924, Misericordia is a liberal arts based, co-educational Catholic institution located in northeastern Pennsylvania.

These values are found throughout the University, from programs of study to service projects. The hallmark of MU is a dedicated faculty and a high quality core liberal arts and sciences curriculum. With a total enrollment of 3,065 students, including 1,986 full-time, Misericordia offers the benefits of a small university with the scope of a larger institution. Misericordia s average class size of 19 ensures personalized attention and a 12.4:1 student/faculty ratio allows students and faculty to truly know one another. Located in Dallas, PA, MU s 123-acre campus has a suburban atmosphere and is only nine miles from Wilkes-Barre and two hours from New York City and Philadelphia. Athletics Facilities The athletics facilities at Misericordia University provide MU s student-athletes with some of the finest competition venues in the region. The facilities - all located on campus - include the Anderson Center, Mangelsdorf Field at the Anderson Outdoor Athletics Complex, Tambur Field, Metz Field House, McGeehan Field, Anderson Softball Field and six tennis courts. Since 1993, the Anderson Center has provided a home for the Cougars basketball, volleyball and swim teams. The Anderson Center features a six-lane swimming pool, indoor track, racquetball courts, fitness center and an aerobic/ dance studio. The building attracts more than 75,000 visitors annually for a variety of recreational uses. Mangelsdorf Field at the Anderson Athletic Complex was constructed in 2002 and serves as a home for the football, soccer, field hockey, lacrosse and track & field programs. The Anderson Complex features a synthetic grass field and a six-lane synthetic track, with an eight-lane straightaway, which allow MU s student-athletes to compete even when weather conditions are less than ideal. The Misericordia softball team has called Anderson Field home since Named for the late Dr. Robert S. and Geraldine Ruth Daley Anderson, the Anderson Sports-Health Center, Anderson Athletic Complex and Anderson Fields are all tributes to their commitment to Misericordia University. Mangelsdorf Field honors the dedication of Jack and Dorothy Mangelsdorf to MU and the region. The Misericordia tennis complex opened in 2004 as part of a gift by the M & T Foundation. Honoring the Robert Tambur family, Tambur Field was christened in 2013 as the new home for the MU baseball team. McGeehan Field, named in honor of Mary Ellen McGeehan 46, opened in 2012 and provides a second artificial grass venue for the MU field hockey, soccer and lacrosse teams. In addition, the John & Mary Metz Fieldhouse was constructed in 2012 and provides meeting and locker room space for the MU football, soccer, field hockey, track & field, baseball and lacrosse teams. The 21,750 square-foot facility is named for long time board of trustee member John Metz and his wife and recognizes their contributions to the MU community.
