History
[edit | edit source]Prior to 2023, the college's teams were known as the "Dutchmen" and "Dutchwomen."[2] The nickname was changed to "Garnet Chargers" as part of a branding update.[2] Garnet has been the school's official color for 150 years, and the name "Chargers" is a reference to "Schenectady’s legacy as a leader in electrical technologies."[2]
Affiliation
[edit | edit source]The Garnet Chargers compete in the NCAA Division III and are members of the Liberty League for all sports except ice hockey, which competes in NCAA Division I as a member of ECAC Hockey.[3]
