The
Quincy Hawks
are the athletic teams that represent
Quincy University
, located in
Quincy, Illinois
, in
NCAA Division II
intercollegiate sports. The Hawks, members of the
Great Lakes Valley Conference
(GLVC) since 1994, compete in that league in all but three sports. Men's volleyball plays in the
Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association
through the 2025 season (2024?25 school year), after which the GLVC will begin sponsoring that sport.
[2]
Since there is no men's volleyball at the Division II level, the men's volleyball team is the only program that plays at the
Division I
level.
Sprint football
, a weight-restricted form of American football governed outside the NCAA structure, competes in the Midwest Sprint Football League. Men's bowling is also governed outside of the NCAA (the NCAA governs only women's bowling); QU competes as an independent.
Quincy added women's lacrosse in 2017 and men's lacrosse in 2018, bringing the total number of programs up to 23.
[3]
Sprint football became the 24th varsity sport in 2022. QU is one of six charter members of the Midwest Sprint Football League.
