On August 22, 2007, Meredith unveiled its new mascot and logo and became known as the "Avenging Angels." The Meredith "Avenging Angels" compete on seven NCAA Division III athletics teams: basketball, soccer, softball, cross country, volleyball, lacrosse and tennis. Meredith College joined the USA South Athletic Conference in 2006, with the 2007-2008 season being their first as a full member. Meredith has two USA South Athletic Conference championships, winning both the soccer and tennis tournaments in the 2008-09 season.
Meredith teams have enjoyed great success in post-season play in recent years as an independent institution and conference member. The tennis Avenging Angels competed in the NCAA tournament in 2000, 2007 and 2009, while the basketball Avenging Angels competed in the first round of the NCAA tournaments in 2001 and 2003. The soccer Avenging Angels competed in the NCAA tournament 2006 and 2008.
