So You Wanna Know About UCCS Athletics? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Ever wondered if the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) has a killer Quidditch team? Or maybe you're curious if their mascot, Clyde the mountain lion, can throw a mean spiral? Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into the thrilling world of UCCS athletics... Division II style!
Division II? But I Only Heard of Division I
Ah, yes, the land of the big-name schools and million-dollar athletic budgets. But listen here, Division II has its own brand of awesome. Think of it as the craft brewery scene of college athletics - smaller, more focused, and with some truly passionate fans (and athletes!).
UCCS Roars in Division II
That's right! UCCS competes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II, specifically in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC). They might not have a stadium the size of Texas, but their athletes are fierce competitors across 14 varsity sports.
Here's a taste of what UCCS throws down in Division II:
- Basketball (Men's and Women's) - They'll steal your heart and your ball!
- Volleyball (Women's) - Setting, spiking, and serving up wins!
- ♀️♂️ Cross Country and Track & Field (Men's and Women's) - Leaving the competition in the dust (or snow, depending on the season).
- ⚽️ Soccer (Men's and Women's) - Kicking goals and taking names!
- ⛳️ Golf (Men's) - Even on the course, these mountain lions have a winning swing.
- Softball (Women's) - Hitting home runs and taking home championships!
- Lacrosse (Women's) - Bringing the heat (and the stick skills) to the RMAC.
But wait, there's more! UCCS also boasts a thriving club sports scene and intramural programs, so there's something for every athletic adventurer on campus.
