Football first officially started as varsity sport at the University of Maine (then known as the Maine State College) in 1892 (versus Colby College). From 1892-1900 Maine posted a 10-28 record with one tie. In 1896, Jack Abbott became the first full-time coach.
From 1893-1946 the team played in the Maine Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The 1901 to 1920 period saw the introduction of “Bananas” the mascot- a brown bear and the hiring of Jack Farley as coach. Fred Brice coached the University of Maine between 1921 and 1940 during which time the team won seven State Series titles, New England titles in 1925, 1927, and 1928 and shared one in 1926. From 1931 to 1934 the University of Maine won 12 straight State Series games. A star player from the 1927 season was James Buzzell who received recognition by Who’s Who in American Sports. In 1937 Wally Gleason and Frank Smith earned All-American honorable mention; Gleason was also selected to play in college shrine game. Between 1941 and 1950 the team’s record was 26 wins, 28 losses and four ties. Jack Zollo was the star player during this period and in 1947 was named to the All-American team. Between 1947 and 1996 the team played in the Yankee Conference and won Conference titles in 1949, 1951, 1952, 1961, 1965, 1974, 1982, 1987, and 1989. Under head coach Hal Westerman (1951-1966) the team won 80 (including 15 straight winning records), lost 38, and tied seven. The 1951 and 1961 teams were undefeated and the 1965 team went to the Tangerine Bowl and won the Lambert Cup, and John Huard was selected to Little All-America. This era also marked the end of the State Series with Bates and Bowdoin leaving in the 1964 season and Colby leaving in 1966.
From 1997-2006 the team played in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Maine won the Conference title in 2001 and 2002. Since 2007 Maine have played in the Colonial Athletic Association; in 2013 Maine won the Conference title under head coach Jack Cosgrove.
Since 1998 Maine have played at Morse Field at the Alfond Sports Stadium.

The first official University of Maine men’s basketball team was in the 1904-1905 season and the team had a 7-9 record. After five winning seasons, the sport was dropped at the end of the 1909-1910 season because of a lack of gymnasium space. The basketball team resumed in 1919 as a varsity sport, but was again dropped from 1929 to 1935. The team was considered in 1935 and adopted in 1936. The newly constructed Memorial

Biographical / Historical
The University of Maine women’s basketball team was established in 1920 under coach James Baldwin and played its first recorded game in 1921.
The team went on to have an undefeated season in 1923-1924 with a record of 2-0 under coach Stanley Wallace. Helen Lengyel took over the basketball program for the 1924-1945 season, but in 1931 women’s intercollegiate basketball was discontinued along with each of the four women’s sports programs in existence, in favor of interclass competition.
Women’s basketball returned for the 1970-1971 season, but the basketball program wasn’t resurrected until the fall of 1975 as an officially funded sport by the University. Eilene Fox became coach in 1975 and at the end of the season Maine competed in the Maine Association of Intercollegiate Athletic for Women (MAIAW) tournament. Under Fox Maine won 6 MAIAW championships and 2 EAIAW tournaments.
In the 1983-1984 season under Fox’s successor Peter Gavett Maine set University and NCAA Division I records. In the 1984-1985 season Maine became a member of the newly formed Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference. In the 1989-1990 season Maine entered a new conference, the North Atlantic Conference.
Maine were America East Conference champions every season between 1987 and 1999. From 1994 to 1999 Maine had their most successful spell, featuring standout player Cindy Blodgett, who went on to play in the Women’s National Basketball Association, and later became the head coach of the Maine’s women team (2007-2011). In the 1998-1999 season the team became the first Maine team to advance beyond the first round of the NCAA tournament. The Black Bears won 24 of 31 games, including the America East regular season. In total the team have been champions on 13 occasions.

Biographical / Historical
University of Maine (then known as the Maine State College) students began playing baseball in the late 1870’s. The 1881 team was the first officially-sponsored University of Maine team sport. Maine teams were student- directed until 1894 when Harry Miller became the first faculty coach.
In 1937, the team joined the New England Conference which they won in 1938 and played in until 1943. Notable players included Harold Woodbury and Clarence Keegan who went on to represent the U.S. at the Olympics.
From 1949 to 1979 the team played in the Yankee Conference. The University of Maine won its first Yankee Conference in 1950. However, it’s under the tenure of head coach Jack Butterfield (1957-1964) that the Maine baseball team had arguably one of its most successful periods. Under Butterfield the team had a record of 240 wins and 169 losses. Butterfield’s best season was in 1964 when the team went 21-8 and won the Yankee Conference outright to qualify for the program's first NCAA Tournament and placed 3rd in the College World Series. Butterfield was named 1964 NCAA Coach of the Year and New England Coach of the Year and Maine’s Joe Ferris was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. In Butterfield's 17 seasons at Maine, the team won eight Maine State Series (a competition between Maine, Bowdoin, Colby, and Bates) and shared three other Yankee Conference titles, but did not qualify for another NCAA Tournament. At the end of the 1974 season Butterfield left Maine to become head coach at South Florida.
In 1975, Maine were again Yankee Conference champion under Butterfield’s successor John Wilkin (1975-1996). Wilkin was Maine’s most successful coach with an overall record of 642-430-3 and led Maine to - Page 39- Office of the President (University of Maine)
10 NCAA Tournaments and 6 College World Series. His teams included nine future Major League Baseball players: Mike Bordick, Kevin Buckley, Fred Howard, Joe Johnson, Jeff Plympton, Bert Roberge, Mark Sweeney, Bill Swift, and Larry Thomas. From 1982-1989 Maine played in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference.
Since 1990 Maine have been a member of the America East Conference (formerly known as the North Atlantic Conference) and have been Conference champions on seven occasions.
Since the early 1980’s the team has played at the Mahaney Diamond named for its chief benefactor, the late Larry K. Mahaney (Class of 1951).
