Canisius Golden Griffins
The Canisius University Golden Griffins are composed of 16 teams representing Canisius University in intercollegiate athletics. These teams include men's and women's basketball, cross country, track, lacrosse, soccer, and swimming and diving. Men's sports include baseball, ice hockey, and golf. Women's sports include volleyball, soccer, and softball. The Golden Griffins compete in the NCAA Division I and are members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) for most sports, excluding men's ice hockey which competes in Atlantic Hockey.
In 2008, the men's baseball team won the regular season MAAC championship for the first time in its history with a 41–13 record. This broke the school record for wins in a single season. One season later, the team advanced to its first MAAC Championship game in program history.
The Canisius men's basketball team has made four appearances in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, the last appearance coming in 1996.
The Canisius men's ice hockey team has made two appearance in the NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament, in 2013 and 2023.
In 2008, Canisius men's lacrosse won the MAAC tournament and earned its first ever bid to the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship tournament.
Canisius again won the MAAC championship in 2012. Sitting at 2–7, The Griffs would win their final 2 regular season games to advance to the MAAC championship as the 3 seed. From there Canisius would avenge regular season losses to Detroit 12–10 and Siena 10–9 en route to their 2nd MAAC Championship and automatic qualifier. The Griffs would eventually fall to 2012 NCAA champion Loyola. In 2018 the Griffins would win the MAAC tournament after entering as a number 4 seed and get an autobid to the NCAA Tournament. The Griffins would fall to Robert Morris in the NCAA Tournament Play-in game by a score of 12–6.
Canisius has sponsored women's lacrosse since 1999. After just 10 wins in its first four seasons, Scott Teeter took the reins of the program beginning with the 2003 season and eventually turned it into a contender in the MAAC. After just one win in his first two seasons, the Griffs went 9–6 (4–3 MAAC) in Teeter's third season and advanced to the MAAC championship game in 2006. After three straight conference semifinal appearances between 2008 and 2010, the Griffs won the MAAC championship in 2011, kicking off a stretch of six NCAA appearances in a span of seven years. In 2017, Erica Evans was named a Tewaaraton Award semifinalist, the first in the program's history.
The softball team has traditionally been the university's most successful sport, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament twelve times since the 1994 season (including four straight times from 1994 to 1997) and winning sixteen MAAC regular-season championships. Its most recent trip to the NCAA tournament was in 2022.
