What is Monmouth Hawks?
Monmouth Hawks is the athletic division of Monmouth University, participating in NCAA Division I sports. They are known for their competitive teams in basketball, football, and track, consistently demonstrating a high level of performance and sportsmanship in collegiate athletics.
The stylized hawk has been featured on the Monmouth Hawks logo since at least 1993. On the older logo, the bird’s head was shown above the capital “M” given in a vivid shade of blue.
In 2005, the crest was redrawn. Now, the bird had a different mood and was shown in the middle of the game. The shade of blue grew calmer, softer.
In 2014, the emblem went through a complete overhaul. Now, the hawk’s beak is more visible, which makes the emotion depicted on the Monmouth Hawks logo more apparent. The word “Monmouth” in white is written across the bird.
The baseball team has made four NCAA Tournament appearances (the latest in 2009). They also have been the Conference champions ten times (one MAAC and all the rest NEC).
King Rice is the head coach of the men’s team of Monmouth University. The Hawks have made a total of seven NCAA Tournament appearances (at different levels) the latest of them in 2006. The women’s team has made a single NCAA Division I Tournament appearance (in 1983). They became the Conference Tournament Champions in 1987.
