WOMEN’S ATHLETICS
AT LYCOMING
A LOOK BACK TO SEE
FORWARD
Women’s athletics at Lycoming College
have evolved dramatically during the past
century. Gone are the days when loose
hairpins and billowing bloomers could be
blamed for a loss.
It’s about more than school spirit. Even in
1902, people recognized the importance
of athletics for young women. Playing
with a team helps one develop both
academically and professionally,
improving leadership and teamwork
skills and building strong, supportive
relationships with one another.
One thing that has remained a constant
since those early days of basketball is
that athletics continues to serve as a
cornerstone of student life at Lycoming
College. A strong sense of community
is what many students love about our
campus, and it’s what keeps them
coming back as alumni. Athletics has
been, and will continue to be, a big part
of that lifelong bond that so many alumni
form with their alma mater.
