Men's Sports    
Puget Sound has a strong athletic history dating back to when the school was an NAIA member. When UPS and the entire membership of the Northwest Conference (NWC) shifted affiliation to D3, Logger athletics wasn’t phased a bit. Teams across all sports routinely compete for conference and regional supremacy. UPS now offers 21 varsity sports (10 men’s), and one-fifth of the school’s student body competes in intercollegiate athletics.
