Southern Arkansas Muleriders
The Southern Arkansas Muleriders represent Southern Arkansas University in intercollegiate athletics. They are a member of the Great American Conference and compete in NCAA Division II, fielding 16 varsity teams in 10 sports.
SAU has been playing men's basketball since the school was formed in 1911. The winningest coach in Mulerider history was Coach W.T. Watson. Serving as coach from 1965 to 1980, Watson compiled a record of 300–151. Watson's teams won championships in 1966, 1967, and 1971.
Watson was named athletic director in 1980 and was replaced as basketball coach by Monroe Ingram. Ingram, a former Mulerider baseball coach, led the Mulerider basketball program from 1980 until his retirement in 1997. Ingram went 257–193 won the AIC in 1990. Since Ingram retired in 1997 SAU has seen its share of ups and downs. Brian Daugherty served the Muleriders for 7 years from 1998 to 2005 followed by Eric Bozeman from 2005 to 2012. SAU is looking to achieve new heights in 2012–2013. Andy Sharpe was introduced as the new Mulerider head coach on April 9, 2012. Sharpe brings a career record of 168–70 to SAU.
Women's basketball can trace it roots to Coach Sam McLean's 1922 Burros. However, it was Coach Margaret Downing who put the Lady Muleriders on the basketball map. Downing coached the Lady Muleriders from 1965 until 1984. Her teams compiled a record of 231–155 over her last 18 seasons. Downing's teams won the AAU and Arkansas Women's Extramural Sports Association (AWESA) title in 1966, and the Arkansas Women's Intercollegiate Sports Associate (AWISA) in 1969–70, 1970–71, 1971–72, 1973–74, 1974–75, 1975–76, 1976–77. In total, Downing brought 10 championships to the Lady Mulerider basketball program.
Baseball has been the most consistent winner among the SAU athletic department. Since 1950, SAU has a record of 1,641–984–6. The Muleriders have won 25 conference titles, made 11 NCAA tournament appearances, and 3 NAIA World Series appearances. The current head coach of the Mulerider baseball team is Justin Pettigrew. He led the Muleriders to the 2017 Great American Conference championship.
Southern Arkansas University began its football program in 1911 when the school was known as the Third District Agricultural School. The Muleriders first conference affiliation came in 1930 when the school joined the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference.
SAU competed in the AIC until moving from NAIA to the NCAA Division II in 1995. Upon joining the NCAA, SAU competed in the Western Division of the Gulf South Conference. In 2011, SAU along with nine other colleges in Arkansas and Oklahoma joined the Great American Conference.
Before starting play in 2012, SAU had an all-time record of 429–413–30 (.509). The Muleriders have won five conference titles (1948, 1951, 1952, 1972, 1997). Bill Koepple is in his 4th season as the Mulerider Head Coach.
