MSFL (sprint football) Division I (men's volleyball)
The Quincy Hawks are the athletic teams that represent Quincy University, located in Quincy, Illinois, in NCAA Division II intercollegiate sports. The Hawks, members of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) since 1994, compete in that league in all but two sports. Sprint football, a weight-restricted form of American football governed outside the NCAA structure, competes in the Midwest Sprint Football League. Men's bowling is also governed outside of the NCAA (the NCAA governs only women's bowling); QU competes as an independent. Men's volleyball had been another exception before the 2025–26 school year, when the GLVC started sponsoring that sport. Before then, Quincy had spent more than 30 years in the single-sport Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association. Since there is no men's volleyball at the Division II level, the men's volleyball team is the only program that plays at the Division I level.
Quincy added women's lacrosse in 2017 and men's lacrosse in 2018, bringing the total number of programs up to 23. Sprint football became the 24th varsity sport in 2022. QU is one of six charter members of the Midwest Sprint Football League.
