Where the Hawks Compete

The Hawks compete in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) in all but two sports. Sprint Football participates in the Midwest Sprint Football League, while men’s bowling competes as an independent program. Visit the QU Athletics website for rosters, schedules, facilities, and more!

Blessing of the Athletes

The Blessing of Athletes is a cherished moment each year, calling upon St. Francis and St. Clare to guide, protect, and inspire our teams as they represent QU with character and heart.

What does it mean to me to be a student-athlete at Quincy University? It means balancing academics and athletics with excellence—having the support, commitment, and encouragement to give your best for yourself and your teammates, while learning in a small liberal arts environment where professors truly care. I’m beyond thankful to be able to excel in both at QU.”

Jayden Fink, Student Athlete

Quincy University Hawks in Action

Our student-athletes pursue excellence on and off the field—competing at a high level while staying committed to academics, character, and personal growth. Guided by integrity, humility, and dedication, they represent the QU values in every practice, game, and classroom. Stay up-to-date with the Hawks on social.
