The Student-Athlete Experience

Balancing early morning workouts, classes, internships, evening practices, and late-night study sessions, º£½ÇÉçÇø student-athletes are driven by the name on their jersey and a commitment to being better than they were the day before.

In only four years of NCAA Division I play and one year of postseason eligibility, we have made our mark. Up against larger schools with greater resources, º£½ÇÉçÇø has proven itself with ASUN Championship titles and Power Four wins already stacking up.

The foundation is set, the athletes are brimming with skill and talent, and now it’s up to you—fans and families—to take the Royals to the next level.

Field Hockey

Jarmilla Richter ’26

“Being a student-athlete has helped me grow as a person, as I have learned how to balance multiple responsibilities in my everyday life. I have also made lifelong connections with members of my team and staff who will lend support and guidance for the next steps in my life, preparing me for success after º£½ÇÉçÇø.”

Men’s Soccer

Michel Feldmann ’26

“º£½ÇÉçÇø offered the perfect balance between strong academics and competitive athletics. The opportunity to play soccer at the highest level while getting a high-quality education was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a school where I could develop as an athlete and as a professional, and º£½ÇÉçÇø offers exactly that.”

Women’s Rugby

Maggie Sweeney ’26

“Being a woman playing a male-dominated sport that is up and coming can be very difficult. When anyone offers us support, you are not only helping to fund us but are becoming a part of a movement to not only inspire women to be involved in sports but for women not to be put in a box and that they can do anything.”

Your Generosity in Practice

Your support is direct, hands-on, and serves as the base of operations for athletics. Your generosity empowers our athletes to excel both in competition and in the classroom, fostering a legacy of pride and community that lasts well beyond graduation.
