About Nichols Athletics

The Nichols College Athletics Program developed in the 1930's, during the school's tenure as a two-year all-male junior college. Under the coaching and administration prowess of Hal Chalmers, Nichols College grew into one of the best small, private college athletic programs in New England.

The Athletic Department at Nichols College has a strong history of championship teams. The Bison football teams of the 1970's came away with five New England Football Conference (NEFC) Championships and the baseball and soccer teams were also strong. The women's basketball team dominated within the state during the 1980's. Men's tennis, women's soccer, field hockey and softball have continued the winning tradition with conference and tournament championships in the 1990's.

Today, athletics have become a large part of the college experience for today's students. Well over fifty percent of the student population is associated with a varsity or club sport. Since 2010, the men's tennis program has captured 12 CNE championships (2012-19; 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025) while women's tennis has won six (2010, 2016-19, and 2024). Men's basketball won six-consecutive Conference Championships (2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2022-23) and men's soccer has won two (2010, 2014). The men's ice hockey program, meanwhile, won back-to-back Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Northeast Championships in 2013-14 and 2014-15 before claiming its first-ever Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Championship in 2017-18. The men's volleyball program won three straight New England Volleyball Conference (NEVC) Championship in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
