Saint Joseph's College of Maine

Why Saint Joseph’s? I chose Saint Joseph’s College because it felt like home from the moment I stepped on campus. During my first conversation with Coach Woodside, I could tell that he cared about who I was as a person, not just as an athlete. Saint Joseph’s creates an environment where student-athletes feel safe, seen, and supported while building relationships that extend far beyond the court and classroom.
