Lake Region State College Athletics

Lake Region State College competes in NAIA athletics, which represents a middle ground between major college sports and recreational play with modest scholarships and regional competition. The Royals field teams in 8 varsity sports with 107 total athletes. This means roughly 18% of the 599 students participate in varsity athletics, creating a tight-knit athletic community where athletes are well-known on campus. The school distributes $357,783 in athletic scholarships across its programs. As a small rural college in Devils Lake, the Royals likely compete against other North Dakota community colleges and regional NAIA schools in the northern plains. With only 200 students living on campus, home games probably draw a dedicated but modest crowd of students, faculty, and local community members who follow the teams closely.
