Lynn University (D2 FL) Adds Women's Lacrosse

Lynn University Director of Athletics Devin Crosby today announced the addition of women's lacrosse as the school's 19th NCAA Division II athletic program. This is the eighth sport added since 2012 and fourth in the 2017-18 academic year, bringing the Fighting Knights to nine men's and 10 women's NCAA sponsored varsity sports.


"We feel women's lacrosse is fitting for Lynn University as the sport has experienced considerable national growth through the years," said Crosby, who has overseen the expansion of five sports since becoming director of athletics in 2015. "Our men's lacrosse team has enjoyed success since starting in 2014 and I look forward to watching our women's program grow in a similar fashion."

Longtime university supporter Mary Ann Perper donated a second locker room for Bobby Campbell Stadium where the team will train and compete. Construction will begin this summer and is set to be completed by early 2019.
