New membership and renewals for the University of Central Missouri Athletics Cardinal & Black Fund are now open for the 2026-27 season! Membership in the CBF is the best way for fans to financially support UCM Athletics, ensuring we continue our elite standard of competition and student-athlete support. Central Missouri continues to be a torchbearer in NCAA Division II Athletics, and that wouldn't be possible without the support of our fans, donors, and community.  

Thanks to our CBF members' generous support, Mules and Jennies student-athletes excelled on the field, in the classroom, and in the community again in 2025-26. Central Missouri finished 14th in the Learfield Directors' Cup standings, marking our 20th consecutive year in the top 30.

More Highlights from a Historic Year:

• National Success: Mules Baseball advanced to the College World Series for the third straight year (22nd overall), while Jennies Track & Field placed 10th nationally, featuring four-time National Runner-Up Grizell Scarlett.
• Tournament Streaks: Jennies Soccer made its 15th straight NCAA appearance, Mules Golf made its 32nd consecutive postseason, and Jennies Golf reached regionals for the 10th straight year.
• Historic Returns & Titles: Mules Basketball earned its first NCAA bid since 2015 (with Lazerek Houston named MIAA Freshman and Player of the Year), Jennies Basketball won its 13th MIAA regular-season title, Mules Wrestling sent six to nationals (most since 2009), and Jennies Bowling placed ninth at the ITC National Tournament.
