The university fields six women's varsity teams and four men's varsity teams across six sports.

Nickname

The name “Tommies” derives from the Edwardian term for a British private or “Tommy”. These soldiers would be called upon across no-mans-land, if German soldiers wished to speak to a British soldier. “Tommies” were known for their bravery and courage while travelling through the most dangerous grounds of the war.
