History
Team Name
The sports teams at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University are called the Pioneers. The name was coined in 1955 as the first students of C.W. Post eagerly set out to establish the campus’ traditions. They chose the nickname of the Pioneers because the establishment of a new private college during the post World War II era was truly a national innovation. The students also felt like pioneers as they created rules and traditions from the ground up.


Today, C.W. Post has 17 varsity sports, including football, basketball, baseball, swimming, lacrosse and soccer.
