Hey guys, I'm looking into attending Cal State Dominguez Hills and was wondering about their athletic programs. Can anyone give me some info on the teams and how competitive they are? Thanks in advance!
Hey! Cal State Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) is a member of the NCAA Division II and competes in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). They offer various sports teams for both men and women. For men, you'll find baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, and track & field. For women, there are teams in basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, track & field, and volleyball.
In terms of competitiveness, while they might not be a national powerhouse in every sport, CSUDH has enjoyed a fair amount of success at the conference level and within the region. For instance, the CSUDH men's soccer team has traditionally been strong, with multiple CCAA championships and appearances in the NCAA Division II Tournament.
One thing to consider is the athletic facilities at CSUDH. The university has a dedicated soccer stadium, the Dignity Health Sports Park, which was the former home of the Los Angeles Galaxy. It's an impressive facility for a Division II school and can provide a great college sports experience.
Overall, if you're interested in participating in collegiate athletics at a more balanced level between academics and sports, CSUDH could be a great fit. Attending matches, supporting the teams, and even participating as a student-athlete can be a fulfilling experience at Dominguez Hills. If you want to learn more about each team, you can visit the CSUDH Athletics website to view team stats, rosters, and schedules.
I hope this helps with your decision! Good luck!
