Bob Jones University Director of Athletics, Dr. Neal Ring, announced today that the Bruins athletics department would be adding women's lacrosse as the next intercollegiate sport at BJU. With the addition of lacrosse, Ring also announced the suspension of adding a women's softball program.
"After announcing the addition of baseball and softball, we were excited to see how God would lead in building those programs," Ring said. "While the baseball program has begun to build a solid foundation, we continued to run into several obstacles in pursuing women's softball. As such, we feel it best to pursue another option in our Spring sport offerings."
In October of 2017, BJU announced their pursuit of NCAA DIII membership while maintaining their affiliation in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA). One of the criteria to make the transition was for the program to add additional sports in the Spring.
The Bruins athletic department currently features fifteen varsity programs. The program had planned for the baseball and softball teams to play their first season in spring of 2020 but decided to use another exploratory year while making program adjustments.
