When I was at WIU, the women's teams did not use Rocky...they had their own logo/mascot. I know the administration was worried that some people would call the women's teams the "Lady Leathers", which would not go over well in conservative Macomb, Illinois.
I miss the Wranglers, though. They were pretty entertaining...I mean for the stories of their misbehavior, not so much for their dancing.
