Northern Colorado Bears baseball is the varsity intercollegiate team representing University of Northern Colorado in the sport of college baseball at the Division I level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The team is led by Carl Iwasaki, and plays its home games at Jackson Field on campus in Greeley, Colorado. The Bears are members of the Western Athletic Conference, which they joined prior to the 2014 season.[2]
Prior to the split into Division, the Bears reached the College World Series nine times, and again in 1974 at the Division I level for a total of ten appearances, compiling a record of 3–20. The school was known as Colorado State College until 1970, when the school changed to its present name. This is not to be confused with the current Colorado State University, which was known as Colorado A&M until 1957.
