Georgetown

The Georgetown Hoyas capture the spirit of the Nation’s Capital at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Since 1870, the Hoyas have cultivated one of college athletics’ most prestigious programs in the Big East Conference with blue and gray pride, creating a legacy spanning from the Potomac River to the national stage. Their story is forged through landmark moments like the 1984 NCAA Basketball Championship, fueled by the dominance of Patrick Ewing. From the 1899 baseball national championship to recent men’s soccer (2019) and women’s cross country (2011) titles, Georgetown’s athletic excellence crosses diverse sports. Particularly notable are 14 sailing national championships and a cadre of Olympians representing multiple disciplines. The Capital One Arena transforms nightly into a fortress where the mascot Jack the Bulldog rallies more than 20,000 fans with the chant “Hoya Saxa” reverberating through D.C. Georgetown’s colors embody a unity of heritage, and its athletes demonstrate Jesuit values through consistent high-level competition. From NBA legends to Hollywood stars, the Hoyas blend perseverance, elite performance, and academic distinction. Georgetown remains a beacon where Hoya pride thrives and champions are forged.
