The Post Eagles are composed of 17 teams representing Post University in intercollegiate athletics, including basketball, cross country, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, and soccer. Additionally, men's sports include baseball and football, while women's sports include softball, tennis, and volleyball.[1] The Eagles compete in the NCAA Division II and the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.[2][3] The exceptions include women's ice hockey, which competes at the NCAA National Collegiate level (Divisions I and II) as part of the New England Women's Hockey Alliance, while men's ice hockey and football compete in the Northeast 10 Conference (football will also join the NE-10 in 2024).
In February 2025, Post University announced it will launch a women’s flag football club in spring 2026, making it the first college in Connecticut to offer the sport at the collegiate level.[4] The program will initially compete as a club before transitioning toward varsity status in subsequent seasons. University officials cited increased national participation in women’s flag football and broader efforts to expand opportunities for female athletes as factors in the decision.[5][6]
