Rowan Campus Rec

--> Most people know about Rowan Campus Rec’s many traditional sport clubs like basketball, baseball, and soccer, but we have always been open to accepting new and unique clubs. One of our most popular unique clubs is Rowan University Equestrian! Beginning in 2012, the Rowan University Equestrian Team (RUET) offers a competitive and fun window into the world of horseback riding and the entire Equestrian field.

Women’s Club Hockey has been one of our most successful competitive clubs, recently winning the Delaware Valley Collegiate Hockey Conference (DVCHC) D2 Championship in 2015 and the D3 DVCHC Championship in 2017.

Rowan overcame these struggles and closed out the regular season on an impressive three game win streak which included a 1-0 win over Montclair State, giving Montclair their only lo...
