Birmingham, AL—The increasing popularity of women's lacrosse has expanded into the Gulf South Conference, as the league officially announced that it will be adding the sport to its sponsorship list for 2015-16. The GSC Presidents agreed to move forward with the addition of women's lacrosse at its annual business meeting this past June and the addition was made official when the University of Montevallo and Young Harris College signed on as affiliate members last week.

"Women's lacrosse has consistently been one of the fastest growing sports in the NCAA for a number of years and we are excited to provide championship and award opportunities for these student-athletes in the Gulf South Conference," GSC Commissioner Matt Wilson said. "Our Board of Directors believes this is a sport that makes sense for the GSC and I anticipate seeing more regional Division II programs in the next four or five years."

The project, which will be built on the land the existing soccer field occupies, will include a new 1,000-seat grandstand, press box, concession stand, Wi-Fi, and an artificial turf playing surface. Money for the new stadium was donated by Northland College trustee and alumnus Craig Ponzio. “This is a proud moment for Northland and for our athletes and fans,” Northland College President Michael Miller said. “Personally, I can’t wait to sit with fans and watch games from the grandstand.
