The defining achievement for any student-athlete is being named a
national champion. Salisbury University is recognized as one of the
most competitive intercollegiate athletics programs in the country
and has celebrated 14 Division III Team National Championships in
just over two decades dating from 1986 to today.
Most recently, the Sea Gulls won the 2010 NCAA Division
III women's lacrosse championship in Gettysburg,
Pa. on May 23, 2010. Salisbury defeated Hamilton College,
7-6, to claim the program's first national title.
The other national championship programs are SU field
hockey and men's lacrosse.
