The Colorado State University Pueblo ThunderWolves (shortened to CSU Pueblo ThunderWolves in their athletics context) are the athletic teams at Colorado State University Pueblo. The ThunderWolves are a member of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. They were previously known as the Southern Colorado Indians and then the Southern Colorado ThunderWolves. The program includes 7 men's sports: baseball, basketball, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and wrestling. The women's program has 8 sports: basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball and track.[1] Dropped following the 1984 season, football returned in 2008 and the team posted a 4–6 record. The ThunderWolves won the 2014 NCAA Division II Football National Championship, its first in football program history, by blanking previously undefeated Minnesota State University, Mankato 13–0.[2] [3]
In 1984, the school ended its football and baseball programs due to budget cuts.
In 1994, Dan DeRose, the athletic director, re-established the school's baseball program and had a new stadium complex built for baseball.[4]
CSU Pueblo saw the return of football in 2008 with the construction and completion of its new football stadium, the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl.
CSU Pueblo announced further restoration of athletic programs under new president Lesley Di Mare.
The ThunderWolves mascot is Wolfie.
