History

A tradition since 1967 - the Cavaliers represent Western in baseball, Esports, men's basketball, volleyball, women's basketball. Western has had a proud tradition of athletics that has allowed former and current student-athletes to have the Essential Experience. Our history is filled with student-athletes and teams who have been successful. 

In 2024, Western Athletics announced the suspension of their Men's and Women's Baksetball programs in an attempt to realign sport offerings with the needs and interests of the Western student population. Starting in the Fall of 2024, Western Athletics will offer a variety of sport offerings including Baseball, Esports, Clay Target, Powerlifting, and Volleyball.
