The official nickname of the college's athletics teams is the Storm. This name was chosen after Lake Erie College started competing nationally, at which point they held a contest to name the team. "Contestants had to supply the name and a suitable logo and rationale for the name. A Madison woman won by suggesting the name the Storm." The name was chosen to replace the nickname Unicorns when the college added men's intercollegiate athletics beginning in 1988. Their mascot is Stormy.
Lake Erie College sponsored the first women's national collegiate tennis tournament in 1922, won by Evelyn Ennes of Sandusky, Ohio.
