Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Team sports take on an interesting dimension here at school, one that emphasizes the individual. Here sports seem to be more about participation than competition. Attendance at sporting events varies depending on the day. As the University sees increased and more diverse enrollment, however, team sports are improving. An estimated one in five undergrads take part in our 20 NCAA Division III varsity sports, and half of our students play either intramural or club sports.

The Saxons’ varsity sports teams compete as a member of the Empire Eight Athletic Conference, which competes against Elmira College, Hartwick College, Ithaca College, Nazareth College, Rochester Institute of Technology, St. John Fisher College, and Utica College. Our men’s swim team recently blew away their division championship and our ski and equestrian programs are nationally ranked. The soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and softball teams usually advance to the NCAA Division III championships, and then, well, getting there is half the battle!

Athletics at Alfred

I wish we were more competitive than division III--however the football team is dedicated and an important part of our culture at AU. We do not have a competitive baseball team however; just a club team. I think this could use some more investment.

Most Popular Sports

Football is by far the most supported sport on campus. The basketball and volleyball teams have done well in past years, and when they are doing well, people go to the games.

Most Overlooked Teams

The club baseball team has been trying to go varsity for a few years, but has so far been unable to get the money from the University.
