The Merrimack Warriors are the intercollegiate athletic teams that represent Merrimack College, located in North Andover, Massachusetts, in NCAA sporting competitions. All of the Warrior athletic teams compete at the Division II level with the exception of the men's and women's ice hockey programs, which compete at the Division I level. While the ice hockey programs are members of the Hockey East conference, the remaining teams are members of the Northeast-10 Conference. Merrimack has been a member of the NE-10 since 1984.
The College's combination of academic and athletic success has garnered Merrimack the #4 ranking in the country among NCAA Division II schools in the Top 100 Collegiate Power Rankings that are published by the National College Scouting Association. In addition, Merrimack finished 96th in the overall NCSA Power Rankings across all three NCAA divisions.
Highlights of Merrimack athletic history includes two national championships: the 1978 men's hockey team Division II Men's Ice Hockey Championship; and the 1994 women's softball team won Division II Women's College World Series. In 2006, Merrimack football became Northeast 10 Co-Champions and received their first NCAA Division II playoff bid to go on to win their first NCAA playoff game. In 2012, Merrimack Men's Tennis became Northeast 10 Champions, led by Senior captains Max Eppley and Sean Pahler, and first year head coach Sean Tully. This was Merrimack's first ever Men's Tennis Championship. Merrimack College intramurals and recreation started a rugby program in the 2007 season, and it was a full-time squad in the New England Rugby Football Union (NERFU) and in USA Rugby. Merrimack College Rugby (M) is now a part of the first ever Division II rugby conference in the United States, by joining Rugby Northeast.
