After a winning fall season, the Gulls have made it a spring of success, too.

In April, the men’s volleyball team captured its third straight New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Championship, paving the way for a spate of victories to come for several Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ athletic programs.
In May, the men’s golf team won its eighth Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Championship in program history and the team’s third championship in the last five years, while the baseball team defeated Western New England to capture a CCC Championship of its own.
The softball team won its third straight CCC Championship in May, with one of the best come-from-behind victories in game one that the program has seen. Though the Gulls eventually fell to nationally-ranked Salisbury in the NCAA Tournament Salisbury Regional Championship, the softball program leads all sports at Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ with 16 conference championships in its storied program history.
“Once again, it was a privilege to see how all of our athletic programs truly shined as they represented themselves—and their respective teams and families—with their collective and individual successes,” said Assistant Vice President and Director of Athletics Brian Wylie.
“We have been so fortunate in all the preparation and hard work our student-athletes have committed to their respective sports, and to the coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, athletic trainers, and support staff for helping provide a first-rate college athletic experience. Just another example of how special a place Î÷¹ÏÊÓƵ is!”
In late April, women’s rugby placed eighth overall at the National Collegiate Rugby (NCR) 7s National Championships after another phenomenal season, which included two conference championships. Men’s rugby once again earned the right to compete in the NCR national Championship starting May 28 in New Orleans.
Meanwhile, the women’s track and field team earned runner-up honors at its CCC Championship. The second-place finish is the highest ranking in the program's five-year history. At the NCAA DIII New England Regional Outdoor Championships, the Gulls scored points for the first time in program history and broke school records during the two-day regional championship.
Both the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams had fantastic seasons, too, including reaching their respective CCC Championships.
