On paper, the 2019-2020 season did not look pretty for IUPUI Tennis. The men's team, coached by, managed only a 3-10 record, while the women's team, coached by, finished even lower at 1-11.

Nowadays, the ladies continue to practice—enjoying the fresh air, keeping their skills sharp and doing whatever they can to adjust to the new normal.

The Dinos women’s rugby team has been one of the most consistent programs in the nation over the past few years, with a U Sports bronze medal in 2016 and three consecutive Canada West titles from 2016 to 2018.

In 2018–2019, the Dinos women’s hockey team experienced an abysmal season, with an overall record of 5–26–3. Fast forward to the present, and the ship has been righted.

They are currently riding a four-game win streak following a sweep of the Cougars last weekend and another sweep of the University of Alberta Pandas at the beginning of November. This recent success has propelled the Dinos into second place in the conference, a mere two points behind the Canada West-leading University of British Columbia Thunderbirds.
