Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

The Embry-Riddle Eagles embody a unique fusion of world-class technical intellect, championship precision, and the ambitious spirit of their home in Daytona Beach, Florida. As the world's premier aviation and aerospace institution, the Eagles' athletic programs are built on a foundation of engineering-level discipline and a relentless pursuit of excellence. After dominating the NAIA as a perennial Directors' Cup winner with multiple national titles in sports like men's tennis and men's soccer, the Eagles made the ambitious jump to NCAA Division II and the formidable Sunshine State Conference—the "Conference of National Champions." They quickly proved their championship DNA was transferable, as the men's tennis program soared to capture the 2024 NCAA Division II National Championship. The Eagle mascot symbolizes a program that operates at a higher altitude, where the same focus required to conquer the skies is used to dominate the field of play. The Embry-Riddle Eagles represent the pinnacle of the student-athlete ideal, a program that proves the brightest minds can also be the most dominant champions.
