Niagara University Athletics

Why Niagara?
“I chose to attend Niagara University because it was a great fit for me being able to have personal interactions with professors rather than just being a number. The coaching staff and players have very high standards set for their program, which is something that clicked with me instantly. Niagara’s soccer program is a serious program that prides itself on improving and getting the most out of every opportunity, exactly what I wanted to be a part of to continue my soccer career.”
