Individual programs
The college's athletic teams have been known as the Hawks since the mid-1930s.
Football
The 1936 Saint Anselm Hawks football team finished the season undefeated, allowed zero points on defense, and knocked Holy Cross out of contention for the 1937 Rose Bowl.
College football returned to the Hilltop in 1999 after a 58-year hiatus brought about by the onset of World War II. The team has played its home games at Grappone Stadium since the program's resumption.
One of the college's greatest athletes was Ray "Scooter" McLean; he was coach of the Green Bay Packers in 1953 and 1958 and a National Football League (NFL) player for the Chicago Bears, winning NFL Championship Games in 1940, 1941, 1943 and 1946. In more recent years, Michael Geary (class of 2005) was a Second Team All NE-10 offensive lineman in 2003.{{cite journal|url=http://www.northeast10.org/sports/fball/All_Time_Awards/2000s/2003|publisher=Northeast-10 Conference|title=Hawks 2nd Team-Geary
Ice hockey
Saint Anselm is known by locals as a "hockey school" as both the men's and women's teams have earned championships in their respective conferences. The men's team has won nine Northeast-10 Conference championships, (four in a row) most recently by defeating Saint Michael's in 2023. The Hawks performance in the 2012 Championship game set NE-10 records for most goals scored and largest margin of victory in a championship game. The women's team has earned the title of ECAC champions for two consecutive years, by defeating Holy Cross. In the 2012–13 season, the women held a record of 19–4–4 including a victory over Norwich University ending their 40-game win streak and earning them 3rd place over all in the D-III ECAC East standings. The campus has a multimillion-dollar, 65000 sqft ice arena, named after Thomas F. Sullivan. It is located next to Davison Dining Hall, and has a capacity of 2,700 fans.
Lacrosse
The Saint Anselm men's lacrosse team was runners up in the NE-10 Championship in 2021 and was nationally ranked at #8 after an undefeated regular season. They qualified for the NCAA Division II Championship where they beat Seton Hill in the 1st round of playoffs, and lost to Le Moyne in the Quarterfinals.
