ATHLETICS Rough Rider
Building Champions On and Off the Field
July 12, 2025
Luna Community College Athletics is proud to be a growing and dynamic part of the LCC experience, committed to excellence in both academics and athletics. Currently home to Men’s Baseball and Women’s Softball programs, the department continues to expand its vision—seeking to add more athletic offerings and strengthen its connection with the greater Las Vegas community and surrounding areas.
A point of pride for Luna Athletics is its strong focus on recruiting and developing local talent. More than 80% of student- athletes come from within the state of New Mexico, reinforcing the department’s mission to uplift and invest in our homegrown talent. Academic success remains a top priority. The department is thrilled to share that the 2025 Sophomore class achieved a 100% graduation rate . Additionally, 16 student-athletes, eight from baseball and eight from softball, earned spots on the prestigious Region 9 All-Region Academic Team for 2025. These accomplishments reflect Luna’s commitment to developing well-rounded student-athletes who excel both in the classroom and on the field. Luna Athletics is also deeply committed to community involvement and inclusivity. Athletes and coaches are active participants in local events such as La Plaza Little League’s Opening Day, All-Star selections, and collaborative efforts with city government, state police, and other community programs.
Rough Riders celebrating a win!
Looking ahead, Luna Athletics is ramping up its community outreach efforts. Student-athletes will be participating in dedicated community service hours to strengthen their ties with the people and neighborhoods they represent. Additionally, the department is excited to launch a new Homecoming tradition—welcoming back alumni and inviting residents of all ages to reconnect with Luna Community College. This celebration will honor past achievements, inspire future dreams, and reaffirm Luna’s place at the heart of our community. Luna Athletics is more than just sports—it’s about shaping leaders, building community, and fostering a sense of pride. Go Rough Riders!
