Calling all Rattler fans! 📣 🐍
Help us beat St. Edward's University both on the court and off, and bring the Battle of the Saints trophy home where it belongs! The Rattlers and Hilltoppers have been facing off since 1937, and we are excited to add a new chapter to this storied rivalry.
Beginning Thursday, Jan. 20, we will go head-to-head in a fundraising giving challenge focused on building our athletic programs. The challenge ends on Tuesday, Jan. 25, at half-time during the Men's Basketball team as they take on the St. Ed's Hilltoppers in Austin at 7:30 p.m.
By donating to your favorite Rattler sports team, you will help St. Mary's top the Hilltoppers, all while supporting our dedicated student-athletes. Your gift will support scholarships and much-needed facility upgrades or the need for team uniforms, training, equipment, team travels, tournament fees, and much more.
With a $200 gift or more, you will be eligible for additional benefits as a Rattler Nation member, such as home game tickets, live-stream links, Rattler merchandise, and invitations to special events. Even though you can't be on the court, you can still be part of the winning team!
