Wingate University Athletics

 Wingate, N.C.----The Wingate University volleyball team enters the 2010 season following what proved to be the most successful season in the history of the program in 2009. Wingate head coach Shelton Collier led the team to an impressive 36-2 record, and for the second straight season the Bulldogs posted a perfect 16-0 mark in the South Atlantic Conference. Wingate's three-year record of 100-6 is good for the second highest winning percentage in the nation, trailing only three-time defending national champion Concordia St. Paul. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Collier has led the team to the best season in program history.

Wingate, N.C.----Last year, the Wingate University men's soccer team and head coach Gary Hamill accomplished something that all previous teams in program history had failed to do. In their first visit to the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional play-offs in two seasons, the Bulldogs won the first play-off game in school history, a 4-0 triumph over Flagler College.
