17 YEARS IN THE MAKING

UMaine Augusta Moose Men’s Basketball Headed to USCAA Nationals as #7 Seed

The UMaine Augusta Moose Men’s Basketball team is headed back to the national stage.

After a 17-year absence from the tournament, the Moose have officially been selected as the #7 seed at the USCAA National Championships, marking a historic milestone for the program and reigniting excitement across campus and the Augusta community.

For nearly two decades, the dream of returning to nationals has fueled the program’s growth. Now, that dream is reality. The Moose will compete in the USCAA National Championships, set to take place in Buffalo from March 1–7.

The opportunity to extend the season is something players and coaches have worked toward all year — and for many, throughout their entire collegiate careers.

“This is what you play for,” one player shared. “To have the chance to compete for a national title means everything.”
