SEC Champions!
We celebrated an SEC championship last night as our soccer team won its first regular season title, standing at 9-0 in league play with one match remaining prior to the tournament. We are so proud of our student-athletes, Coach Wes Hart and his staff for the incredible job they've done to build this program. What a crowd we had on hand both in and outside the facility to watch this team make history!

University Spotlight
What a wonderful Homecoming we just had here at the Capstone. The committee does such a great job putting on events throughout the week to welcome back our alumni, family and friends. We were thrilled to have so many in attendance from Sylvester Croom, to our 1992 national championship football team, to Joe Namath and Lillie Leatherwood as the Grand Marshal of the Homecoming parade.
