The Salisbury Sea Gulls (formerly the Salisbury State Sea Gulls) are the athletic teams that represent Salisbury University, located in Salisbury, Maryland, in NCAA Division III intercollegiate sports.

Contents

Mascot

The university mascot is named "Sammy Sea Gull." [3] The Sea Gull name evolved from the Salisbury State College Golden Gulls, which was chosen in a 1948 contest. [3] In 1963, the mascot was changed to a sea gull because the school's athletic teams were often referred to as the SSC Gulls (C-Gulls), and the nickname "Sammy Sea Gull" followed in the 1970s. [3]

Regents Cup and Charles B. Clark Cup

In addition to regular-season and tournament play, the Sea Gulls compete twice a year against other local universities. In the fall, the football team formerly competed against Frostburg State University for the Regents Cup. [4] Following Frostburg's move to NCAA Division II in 2018 however, the game has not been played since. Across their 46 matchups since 1973, Salisbury compiled a 28-19 record against Frostburg. In the spring, the men's lacrosse team competes against Washington College for the Charles B. Clark Cup; this annual event being known among the two institutions as the "War on the Shore", and the two schools take turns every year hosting the event. [5]
