Athletics
Auburn–Montgomery (AUM) teams, nicknamed athletically as the Warhawks, are part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), primarily competing in the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC). Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, soccer and tennis; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, soccer, softball and tennis.
AUM participates in the NAIA since the inception of the athletic department 30 years ago. However, AUM has routinely explored possible future participation in NCAA Division II. On August 18, 2011, AUM officially changed the name of its sports teams from the Senators to the Warhawks.
The women's tennis team have won ten NAIA national titles, including a five-title streak (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008). The men's tennis team have won nine NAIA national titles, including a stretch of three consecutive championships (2006, 2007, 2008). They won again in 2010, Scott Kidd being elected as NAIA Coach of the Year.
