Mascot
[edit]The university mascot is named "Sammy Sea Gull."[3] The Sea Gull name evolved from the Salisbury State College Golden Gulls, which was chosen in a 1948 contest.[3] In 1963, the mascot was changed to a sea gull because the school's athletic teams were often referred to as the SSC Gulls (C-Gulls), and the nickname "Sammy Sea Gull" followed in the 1970s.[3]

Regents Cup and Charles B. Clark Cup
[edit]In addition to regular-season and tournament play, the Sea Gulls compete twice a year against other local universities. In the fall, the football team formerly competed against Frostburg State University for the Regents Cup.[4] Following Frostburg's move to NCAA Division II in 2018 however, the game has not been played since. Across their 46 matchups since 1973, Salisbury compiled a 28-19 record against Frostburg. In the spring, the men's lacrosse team competes against Washington College for the Charles B. Clark Cup; this annual event being known among the two institutions as the "War on the Shore", and the two schools take turns every year hosting the event.[5]
