Editing Women's Basketball at RPI (section)

== School Mascots ==
In the early 1920's, Rensselaer's athletic teams began to be called the "Fighting Engineers." However, in 1995 the nickname was officially changed from the Engineers to the Red Hawks. The hockey, football, cross-country, tennis, and track & field teams all chose to retain the Engineers name. The name "Red Hawks" was never really accepted by the student body and the Red Hawk mascot was frequently taunted by fans who threw objects at the mascot and chanted things like "Kill the Chicken" [3]. 

In 2009, the nickname was officially changed to the Engineers. The official ice hockey mascot, Puckman, has received continued enthusiasm and support since the character's initial appearance in costume in 1998 [3]. Puckman has only shown support at ice hockey games, however, leaving other sports like basketball without mascot presence.
