Athletics[]

University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis teams are known as the Eutectics. The University competes in the Division I of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) as an outgoing member of the American Midwest Conference (AMC). Men's sports include basketball, cross country, soccer, tennis and track & field; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, tennis, track & field and volleyball.

The women's cross country made University history in Fall 2009 when they were the first full team to make it to a national competition. Nationals were held in the state of Washington. They also won their conference meet, which sent them to nationals.

In March 2010, David Baker became the first Eutectic to earn a spot as an NAIA All-American in Indoor Track for his 4:13.50 time in the indoor mile. He repeated the feat again at the 2012 NAIA Indoor Track and Field National Championships with a 4:08.30 finish. Baker is the only Eutectic to earn All-American honors and recognition of his achievement is displayed on a banner in the school's gymnasium "The Pillbox."

  • Softball (new for 2012-13)

The Eutectics home floor, "The Pillbox", was torn down during the Spring 2014 semester. The new gym is now located in the new Recreation and Student Center.

Mascot[]

The Eutectic, also known as Mortarmer "Morty" McPestle was named by the esteemed alumni Dr. John Miller of the class of 2012. He is depicted in his own white lab coat, with a fierce expression ready for competition.[7]

"The 'Eutectic' describes the scientific process of two solids being combined to form a liquid. It is the perfect metaphor for the University's intercollegiate athletic program—combining athletics and a demanding academic program." The Eutectic was once recognized as the most esoteric mascot in the country by ESPN.[8]
