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 (Lasallian) 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.
