Sacramento State Athletics

Hey everyone, I'm applying to California State University Sacramento and would like to know more about their athletic programs. How's the school spirit, and are there any sports they're particularly good at? Thanks a bunch!

Hey there! Sacramento State, also known as Sac State, is a Division I school and competes in the Big Sky Conference, offering a variety of sports for both men and women. Some of the sports you'll find include basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, track and field, baseball, and more.

Sac State has a pretty involved fan community, with events like Homecoming week and other special games drawing considerable school spirit. While the school may not have the same kind of fan following as some larger or more well-known universities, the student body and local community support their teams.

Some of the sports that Sac State has been historically successful in include men's and women's soccer, men's basketball, and women's volleyball. Additionally, their women's rowing team has seen significant achievements over the years, while the women's gymnastics team also tends to perform well in their conference.

But besides their competitive athletics, Sac State also offers intramural and club sports opportunities. So even if you're not interested in participating at the Division I level, you can still play a sport for fun, exercise, and camaraderie.

In summary, Sacramento State has a diverse range of athletic programs, with some teams doing particularly well in their conference. While the school spirit may not be as intense as at some other universities, you'll still find an engaged and supportive community at Sac State. Best of luck with your application!
