Dallas Baptist University and Patriot Athletics announced today an extension of their multi-year partnership with Under Armour, the global leader in innovative apparel and footwear.
  
The department-wide agreement will begin during the ensuing academic year. It will provide industry-leading apparel and training gear for DBU's 14 NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletics and nine club sports programs.
  
"We could not be more pleased to renew our partnership with Under Armour. Their products directly impact the competitiveness of our athletic department as a whole," shared DBU Interim Director of Athletics Dr. Ryon Phillips. "This is an exciting time for our University, and we look forward to the new opportunities this partnership will provide as we strive to build Champions for Christ."
  
The Patriots will join a select few NCAA Division II athletics programs to ink a multi-year agreement with Under Armour, Inc. as the exclusive provider of all merchandise and apparel needs. DBU and Patriot Athletics will benefit from unique brand enhancement and engagement opportunities that will further contribute to the DBU student-athlete experience through this new partnership.
  
"Game One is proud to continue our partnership with Dallas Baptist University's exceptional athletic programs," said John Cardinal, the Regional Sales Manager for Game One. "As the official provider of Under Armour performance apparel and footwear, Game One will ensure every athlete at DBU is outfitted with industry-leading products."
 
The Patriots enter the new year fresh off a historic fall season that saw both the DBU Women's Soccer and Women's Golf teams reach the No. 1 spot in the national polls and three teams advance to the NCAA postseason, including Women's Cross Country, Women's Soccer, and Volleyball. DBU capped off the fall season ranked No. 24 nationally in the Learfield Director's Cup standings.
