Niagara University Athletics

Why Niagara?
"I chose Niagara University because it is an overall perfect fit for me. It offers me the major I was seeking in sports management and the status of a Division I golf program, as well as a small Catholic university located close to home. Also, I love everyone and everything about this university."
