Athletics & Recreation


We don’t just cheer for our 20 varsity teams, we Raise High the Buff and Blue! G-Dub has won team championships in 15 different sports — from basketball to cross country, gymnastics to golf. With an Army of fans loyal to bob手机体育下载, it’s no surprise our teams have thrived in the Atlantic 10 conference and across the country. Over the past four years alone, we have won 12 conference championships.

In the classroom and in competition, our athletes excel: approximately 300 make the Dean’s List each semester with a 3.0 or higher GPA. That’s quite a record in any arena.
