Guilford Quakers  The Guilford Quakers are the athletic teams that represent Guilford College, located in Greensboro, North Carolina, United States in NCAA Division III intercollegiate sports. The Quakers compete as members of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. Altogether, Guilford sponsors 18 sports: nine each for men and women, respectively. Men's sports  Women's sports Origins of the school mascot, named "Quaker Man", are unclear. Since the early 1900s, members of the cheerleading squad would attend baseball and football games dressed as Quakers. Whenever the team scored a touchdown, Quaker Man would fire a musket. Regarding a logo, the athletics department had been using the Quaker Oats Company logo, fashioned after William Penn, but, in 1968, athletic director John Lambeth called for a redesign and a "mean-looking" Quaker caricature was chosen. However, the logo was not fashioned for all team athletics, so the logo was reverted and/or changed to the school's crimson and gray initial. Since around the year 2000, the mascot has been referred to as "Nathan the Quaker", after school founder Nathan Hunt. A costumed "Quaker" has appeared at sporting events dating back to late 1980s. Despite its small size, Guilford College has achieved great athletics success over the course of the school's history. Guilford teams have won five (5) national team championships and one (1) individual national title.  1972-73 Men's Basketball  After building a nationally competitive team in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Guilford finally cracked through to win its first national championship in 1972–73. Under the direction of third-year head coach Jack Jensen, the unseeded Quakers (29-5) completed an improbable run through the NAIA Tournament field with a 99–96 win over eighth-seeded Maryland-Eastern Shore in Kansas City, Mo. Three student-athletes from the 1972-73 team played in the NBA: M.L. Carr '73, World B. Free '76 and Greg Jackson '74. Seven have been inducted into the Guilford College Athletics Hall of Fame, including Free, the 1973 Chuck Taylor NAIA Tournament MVP. 1980-81 Women's Tennis  The 1980-81 women's tennis team shared the inaugural NAIA championship with Grand Canyon (Ariz.) University for the school's second national title. Under the direction of fourth-year head coach Gayle Currie, the Quakers earned 27 team points.
