Introduction to University Hill

CAMPUS LIFE

DBU’s Division II sports compete in the Heartland Conference and have maintained years of consistent success, with DBU Cross Country and Track dominating the field for the past decade and Women’s Soccer ranked consistently among the top in the nation. A variety of Club Sports are also offered at DBU, including Ice Hockey, Lacrosse, Bass Fishing, and spirit teams consisting of Cheerleading and the Patriettes dance team. These groups compete against other area teams and national tournaments, allowing students to continue to pursue their passions while in college.

In addition to these Athletic teams, DBU’s Rec Life provides several competitive outlets for the student body through intramural sports. These games include flag football, basketball, softball, volleyball, and soccer, as well as fun events such as Greek Games, Ultimate Frisbee, the Turkey Trot, Dodge Ball, and Ping-Pong. From engaging worship services to exciting baseball games, from special community gatherings to spirited intramural games, there is never a dull moment on University Hill.

For those students who love sports, DBU has an incredible Athletics Department that competes in the NCAA at both the Division I and Division II levels. DBU Patriot Baseball is annually ranked among the top 25 Division I programs in the nation, competing in the Missouri Valley Conference and consistently receiving invitations to the NCAA National Tournament. Each year, multiple Patriots are drafted by Major League Baseball, most notably Ben Zobrist, who is a two-time All Star, two-time World Series Champion, and 2016 World Series MVP.
