BROOKLINE, Mass. - Newbury College is pleased to announce that it will add women’s lacrosse to its athletics lineup in the New England Collegiate Conference, beginning with the spring 2017 season. The College’s Board of Trustees recently approved adding the sport to its intercollegiate athletics program, which currently sponsors 13 intercollegiate sport programs; seven men’s teams and six women’s teams.
“Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in America, and its addition here at Newbury aligns nicely with our recruiting goals,” said Newbury College Director of Athletics Jonathan Harper. “Lacrosse will allow us to recruit additional female student-athletes who will be successful not only on the field, but in the classroom as well.”

Saturday, June 06, 2015
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. --- Men's lacrosse is being added as an official Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference sport starting in the 2015-16 school year.
Participating members will be Adams State University, Colorado Mesa University, CSU-Pueblo and Westminster College. Rockhurst University (Kansas City, Mo.) will also participate as an associate member.
