NEWPORT ATHLETICISM, New England

Speranza

Salve Regina University Athletics compete on the NCAA Division III level.

The University is a member of the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) and New England Football Conference(NEFC).

The university offers eight sports for male:

football
cross country
soccer
basketball
ice hockey,
tennis
baseball
lacrosse

-- and one co-ed sport: sailing!
In addition, the university has a successful club sports program.

The male's rugby club competes at the Division II level in the New England Rugby Football Union (NERFU).

The team won the2010 NERFU College Men's Division III Rugby Tournament and placed third in the National Small College Rugby Organization Championship.

In 2010 Salve Regina Rugby had an undefeated season finishing with ten wins, zero losses.

In 2011 Salve Regina Rugby had another undefeated season finishing 17-0 and winning the NSCRO National Championship, its first in school history.
The highly regarded SAILING team competes in the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA).

Sailing was named a varsity sport over the summer of 2008.
While every sports program has been successful in its tenure, Men's tennis has become an athletic institution at Salve Regina University.

Under the strong leadership of coach Brian Shanley the Seahawks have notched 10 Commonwealth Coast Conference Championships and twice ranked runners up since Shanley took over as head coach in 1995.[8]
Former Salve Regina baseball player Damian Costantino holds the NCAA record (for all divisions) for consecutive games in which he had at least one hit, at 60 games. Costantino passed former professional ball player Robin Ventura of Oklahoma State (58 games) in 2003.


An "Athletic/Wellness Centre" is located on campus.

It has varsity and intramural sports as well as health and fitness programs.

Student-athletes have the opportunity to compete, occasionally, at historic Newport athletic sites such as

-- Cardines Field, home to one of the longest-running amateur baseball leagues in the country or

-- the grass courts of the Newport Casino at the Tennis Hall of Fame.


The University's Rodgers Recreation Center is the pre-season training home of the Boston Celtics.
