"This was an incredibly successful initiative that gave downtown students easy access to state-of-the-art facilities," said Ridgebacks Athletic Director Scott Barker. "The students took full advantage of it and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out."

The partnership is expected to return next fall semester.
