6 ATHLETICS UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY The University at Albany and its intercollegiate athletics program continue to move forward in the 21st century. UAlbany's athletic teams are beginning their 12th year of competition at the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I level. All men's and women's programs play on that tier, while football is in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). In 2001, UAlbany accepted an invitation to become a full member of the America East Conference. Seventeen of the school's nineteen varsity teams are eligible through America East play for conference championships and NCAA post-season competition. Football, as a Division I FCS program, is an associate member of the Northeast Conference. Women's Golf competes in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. UAlbany has won 43 conference championships and produced 17 NCAA Tournament teams in its Division I history. The Great Danes claimed all four conference track and field championships last year. In , UAlbany captured conference titles in women's volleyball, women's field hockey, men's indoor track, women's golf, women's outdoor track and men's outdoor track. Football won its fourth Northeast Conference championship and the Gridiron Classic. The Great Danes had their best year as a Division I program in with conference championships in men's basketball, men's lacrosse, softball, men's and women's outdoor track & field, men's indoor track, women's volleyball and baseball. In the spring of 2007, men's lacrosse and softball became the first UAlbany teams at the Division I level to record victories in NCAA post-season competition. In , men's basketball produced one of the most significant achievements in the school's intercollegiate history with its first-ever NCAA Division I berth. UAlbany won the first of two consecutive league titles. The program's storied turnaround resulted in a strong NCAA showing against No. 2 Connecticut. UAlbany was awarded the Stuart P. Haskell, Jr. Commissioner's Cup, which annually recognizes the strongest athletic program in the America East. UAlbany has an athletic history that dates back to the late 1890s when the first known intercollegiate teams arrived on campus. Albany competed at the college division level prior to the NCAA's restructuring in The athletic program moved from Division III to Division II in The University's intercollegiate program has upgraded its status and continues to excel in the athletic realm, producing competitive teams, successful coaches, and outstanding studentathletes recognized for their accomplishments both on the field and in the classroom. The University sponsors 19 varsity sports for men and women. Club sports, an intramural program, and recreational opportunities are also offered. The quality of UAlbany s athletic program is evidenced by some of the finest facilities in the nation. The indoor and outdoor physical education design is among the most comprehensive in the Northeast. In the spring of 1992, the University opened SEFCU Arena (formerly Recreation & Convocation Center), an $11 million state-of-the-art facility. SEFCU Arena is the home for UAlbany s men s and women s basketball teams, and has an.11 mile indoor UALBANYSPORTS.COM UAlbany's athletic facilities include University Field, University Gym, SEFCU Arena, and Bubble. track. The 4,538-seat arena also serves as a major venue for community events such as rock and pop concerts, sporting events and University activities. The playing surface on the arena's three basketball courts and the surrounding track were completely renovated in December In addition, SEFCU Arena contains a fitness center with Nautilus and Universal machines, rowing ergometers and exercise bikes; four racquetball/handball courts and four squash courts; athletic training and rehabilitation facilities with three whirlpool baths, a musculoskeletal evaluation device and other therapeutic machines. Adjacent to SEFCU Arena is the Physical Education Building which houses University Gymnasium; three full-size playing surfaces which can be used for basketball, volleyball, and tennis; four racquetball/handball courts; four squash courts; a swimming pool; a weight training and fitness center with Olympic weights; an aerobic exercise room and a dance studio. SEFCU Arena and Physical Education Building were airconditioned in March 1996, as the state appropriated funds for renovations and permanent improvements to the University's facilities. The $2.3 million in funding was prompted by the New York Giants' decision to hold its football training camp on campus. The project brought together the region's community in what has proven to be a successful partnership. Additionally, UAlbany's air-supported structure, fitted with a brand-new covering with minor interior renovations in the spring of 2003, is located to the east of the Physical Education Building, and may be utilized for tennis, basketball, volleyball and indoor football practice. The indoor complex is complemented by fine outdoor facilities, including University Field, which has football seating for 5,000, plus an all-weather, 400-meter track surrounding a natural grass surface. There are 12 lighted tennis courts and numerous fields for football, soccer, softball, baseball, lacrosse, field hockey, and other events. The practice fields on the Western Avenue side of campus were renovated in June 1996 with 263,000 square feet of twoinch-thick athletic sod. The irrigation system was refurbished, and the area was surrounded with a 3,100-foot chain-link fence. UAlbany broke ground on the site of what has become two all-weather athletic fields in May "John Fallon Field" is the home to the men's and women's lacrosse teams, a sand and rubber infill turf field that stretches 99,450 square feet. An adjacent surface known as "Alumni Turf Field" is used for women's field hockey in addition to serving as a multi-use recreational field for UAlbany students. The second phase of the complex's construction, which includes seating for nearly 2,500 spectators, was completed in the fall of UALBANY 3
