## History

[edit]

Over the last eight seasons, the men's rugby team and the women's basketball team have enjoyed the greatest success, earning 8 conference championships, and 1 runner-up finishes in that time frame.[when?] In addition, the men's rugby, women's basketball, men's basketball, men's tennis, men’s hockey and sailing teams have all competed in national collegiate championship tournaments.

Although the sport does not permit easy comparisons with more traditional sports, the sailing team (co-ed) has been very successful against national powerhouse sailing programs.

## Conferences and opponents

[edit]

The Commonwealth Coast Conference governs eight varsity sports for women (soccer, field hockey, tennis, cross country, basketball, volleyball, softball, and lacrosse) and eight for men (cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, tennis, baseball, golf and lacrosse). The Conference will add football as a conference sport in 2017-18.[needs update] Conference opponents include Curry, Eastern Nazarene, Gordon, Nichols, Endicott, Roger Williams, University of New England, Wentworth and Western New England College.

Sailing at Salve Regina is governed by the Intercollegiate Sailing Association and its subdivision, the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association.

In 2012 the rugby teams moved into the newly formed Colonial Coast Rugby Conference, where the men and women compete nationally at the National Small College Rugby Organization (Division III). The Salve Regina Men’s Rugby team won the national championship in Spring 2012.
