The Towson Tigers, formerly the ''Towson College Knights'', are the athletics teams of Towson University. All of the major athletic teams compete in the Colonial Athletic Association with 20 Division I athletic teams (13 in women's sports, 7 in men's sports). Gymnastics competes in the EAGL conference, having rejoined the league in the Spring of 2012. Since joining the CAA in 2001–02, the Tigers have won 16 league championships; the Tigers have won titles in football, baseball, men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse, men's soccer, men's golf, women's swimming and diving, and volleyball. In addition, the women's gymnastics program has captured six ECAC Championships over the last eight years (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010). During an athletics history that traces its roots to the 1920s, Towson has sent teams and individual student-athletes to NCAA post-season competition in baseball, basketball, football, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, track & field and volleyball. In May 2011, the department broke ground on the SECU Arena, a new 5000-seat, state-of-the-art arena for basketball, volleyball and gymnastics. The arena was completed in May 2013 and opened in June 2013. ==Varsity teams== Towson University sponsors teams in six men's and thirteen women's NCAA sanctioned sports: Men's Intercollegiate Sports * Baseball * Basketball * Football * Golf * Lacrosse * Swimming & Diving Women's Intercollegiate Sports * Basketball * Cross Country * Field Hockey * Golf * Gymnastics * * Lacrosse * Soccer * Softball * Swimming & Diving * Tennis * Track & Field (Indoor & Outdoor) * Volleyball * * = The gymnastics team competes in the Eastern College Athletic Conference.
