<purple-intro>The Great Danes football team claimed its first-ever Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) regular season title. In the exciting 2023-24 playoffs, they advanced to the semifinals of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs for the time in program history.<purple-intro>

Emblazoned on the ring’s face is “CAA Champions” — recognizing the first ever Coastal Athletic Association regular season championship in school history. A football-shaped array of purple gemstones surround mascot Damien.

The Golden Apple Trophy for our win against Stony Brook in front of Casey Stadium with “NCAA Semifinalists” across the top. Eleven gemstones on each side of the ring represent the number of wins in the 2023 season, tying the school record.

Recipient’s last name and a jersey with their number if they were a player, initials for the position they coached, or 23 if they were a support staff member.

<purple-intro>Powered by three top-10 finishes, UAlbany Women’s Golf captured the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championship, their fourth in Division I program history. These championship rings represent the grit and determination that define the Great Danes!<purple-intro>

“MAAC Champions” celebrates the golf team’s fourth conference championship in the program’s Division I history.

Enscribed on the ring’s interior bridge is the team’s mantra: “Roll Danes.” Along with the recipient’s name, a diamond “golf ball” sits on a tee with two golf clubs and a victory laurel behind it.

UAlbany’s capital location appears as a star in the state of New York.
