Athletic Teams Achieve Success
On the athletic field, the College joined its first athletic conference, the North Eastern Athletic Conference, in 2004. A year later, Villa Julie accepted an invitation into the Capital Athletic Conference. Stevenson's men's and women's teams competed for conference titles in this traditionally strong conference that includes institutions from Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. Several Stevenson teams have competed in the NCAA Championships. In 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 the men's lacrosse team made it to the Division III semifinals. In 2013, the team won the NCAA National Championship game, beating the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Tigers at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on May 26.
Many of Stevenson’s teams play and practice at the Caves Sports and Wellness Center, the new name for the facility formerly used by the Baltimore Ravens. The complex officially opened in the summer of 2006 after extensive renovations to accommodate the new Wellness Center and Mustang athletics.
Stevenson's football team, created in 2010, enjoyed its most successful seasons to date in 2014 and 2015, culminating its first two winning seasons with victories in postseason bowl games.
After adding women's ice hockey, beach volleyball, and men's ice hockey in the last several years, Stevenson now offers a total of 27 men's and women's varsity athletic teams.
