The women's basketball team qualified for the NCAA Division II tournament in 1992 and 2008. In the 1940s and 1950s, Saint Martin's had a college football team and a high school football team, which won the Washington Class A championship. In the 1990s, the name of the mascot was almost changed to the Ravens.

In 2008, the men's basketball team defeated Division I Colorado State of the Mountain West Conference, making it Saint Martin's' first major publicized victory over a D-I opponent.[2] In 2009, the men's soccer team seized the first team title in any sport for Saint Martin's University, winning the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. In 2010, the university hosted a training camp which featured the University of Washington Huskies men's basketball team.
