The La Salle University Explorers compete as members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in NCAA Division I FCS football, and as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference in NCAA Division I basketball. La Salle is a private Catholic (Brothers of the Christian Schools) institution located in the northwestern reaches of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The school has an undergraduate enrollment of around 4,000. The nickname, interestingly, is the result of a case of mistaken identity on the part of a sportswriter who assumed the school was named for a French explorer rather than a Catholic saint.
