About Hartwick Basketball

Oneonta, New York, United States
Hartwick is among the North East’s elite liberal art colleges both academically and athletically. Hartwick has a reputation of academic excellence and offers a most diverse selection of degree programs, with a strong emphasis on a liberal arts education. Our campus is truly beautiful. We are located on a scenic 425-acre site on the northern slopes of New York’s Catskill Mountains, in Oneonta, a town considered by some experts to be among the top ten best college towns in America. Hartwick offers a small college atmosphere; as the student/faculty ratio is 11 to 1, and the average classroom size is 15. Yet we are only 70 minutes from the state capital, Albany, and two and a half hours from New York City. This setting provides an ideal atmosphere academically, athletically, and socially for the aspiring student-athlete. Combine these facts with tremendous facilities, a great schedule, and a major commitment to the basketball program, and you can see why Hartwick basketball has made the final four and is a true Division III Giant! As a member of the Empire 8 Conference, Hartwick competes successfully in one of the premier Division III conferences in the country.

Locker Room Renovations


Our locker room has gone through a major renovation. A new carpet with our Hawk logo has been added and new stools with Hartwick Basketball have been added. The locker room is used for film, meetings and hanging out. We are lucky to have such a nice space. On the walls are pictures of the Great Hartwick players and teams. We have a great tradition and we are working to build on that tradition.

New Uniforms


This year has been a year of transition for the Hartwick Hawks. A new coaching staff has arrived and the team is off to a good start. The Hawks are playing in new Nike uniforms and shoes this year. Hopefully, you can see us play. Here is the link to our schedule.
