For women include volleyball, basketball, and track and field, cross country, tennis, golf, swimming and diving, rifle and soccer. How it got its name "Zips" was through a contest. Students, faculty and alumni submitted their suggested names and which one will be chosen will win a prize. The contest has finally gotten a winner. An entry named "zippers" of a freshman student, Margaret Hamlin won and she got the prize of $10.
Later on it was shortened by its athletic director, Kenneth Cochrane and officially it became Zips in the 1950. Zips is represented by a female Kangaroo which explains their official logo. Just like any other intercollegiate teams that play for the NCAA, compete for the National Championship.
