The Hunter College men’s and women’s intercollegiate athletic teams have established a legacy of success in recent decades at the conference, regional, and national levels of competition. With a philosophy of “scheduling up,” Hunter athletic squads compete against some of the finest NCAA Division III opponents in the region, in addition to taking on Division I and Division II teams in several sports. Since 1990, Hunter has proven to be the dominant institution in the City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC).

Over the last dozen years, Hunter has captured 71 team championships, by far more than any other CUNYAC college. The Hawks have also won four out of the first five CUNYAC Commissioner’s Cups, awarded annually to the best overall athletic program in the conference. Virtual dynasties have been established with multiple CUNYAC titles won in the sports of women’s volleyball (ten), women’s tennis (nine), women’s cross country (seven), men’s cross country (seven), men’s volleyball (seven), men’s basketball (six), and women’s softball (six).
