Siena University Athletics

The UHY Center (formerly known as the Alumni Recreation Center) serves as the home for Siena's women's basketball and volleyball teams. Both programs have enjoyed tremendous success over the years, creating many memorable moments  in the building that was long known simply as "The ARC" across campus. In the summer of 2016, the UHY Center underwent a face-lift in Phase 1A of a update to the athletic facilities. The update includes construction of an enclosed 8,360 square foot practice court for the men's and women's basketball programs located on the east side of the Center. An addition of a bank of bleachers is also included in the phase, which will make the UHY Center's seating capacity 2,148.  Siena Men's Basketball called the then-ARC its full-time home from 1974-1997, and also played its home games during the 2020-21 season inside the facility. 


Siena Athletics announced on February 4, 2021 that UHY Advisors had secured the naming rights to the Alumni Recreation Center, effective immediately. Since then, the facility has been known as the UHY Center. 

Debuting in January 2023, the UHY Center was outfitted by NEVCO with video boards, LED sideline tables, new scoreboard and game clocks, as well as video replay system upgrades for both programs. The additions were made possible thanks to a generous donation from Siena Volleyball alumna Lisa (Copeland) Moser ’97 and her husband, Robert. The new NEVCO technology – which was installed in December 2022 and debuted at the women’s basketball game on New Year’s Day – has transformed the UHY Center and enhanced the game day experience for both Siena fans and student athletes alike.
 
Highlights of the installation feature a 10-foot-high by nearly 19-foot-wide video scoreboard affixed to the east side wall crowned by a three-foot-high decorative truss, a second eight-foot-high by 16-foot-wide video scoreboard affixed to the west side wall, three, 10-foot fully equipped LED scorers tables, two, 10-foot LED tables for press row, two auxiliary scoreboards affixed to each wall, and a new virtual scoring package complete with new scoreboard consoles, shot clocks, and locker room clocks.

The women's basketball team has made its home at the UHY Center since 1974. Since calling the UHY Center home, the Saints have won seven MAAC Regular Season Titles and captured the MAAC Championship in 2001. The women's basketball program has also made six postseason appearances in the NCAA Tournament (2001), WNIT (1999, 2002, 2003 and 2025) and WBI (2015). 

Siena's volleyball program has won nine MAAC Championships and has made eight NCAA Tournament Appearances and one National Invitational Volleyball Championship appearance since 1993. The Saints have traveled to play NCAA First Round games in Atlanta, GA, Fort Collins, CO, Albany, NY, State College, PA (twice), Berkeley, CA as well as NCAA Tournament Play-In Matches in Princeton, NJ, Hamilton, NY, and Hempstead, NY.  The Saints also played in the NIVC in Kansas City, MO.
