Lake Forest College will add men's and women's lacrosse to its slate of varsity athletic programs in the 2021-22 academic year, Vice President for Career Advancement and Athletics Jackie Slaats announced Friday. The men's team has already been accepted into the Midwest Lacrosse Conference and the women's team into the Midwest Women's Lacrosse Conference. Both conferences include schools from Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri.
"We are very excited to elevate lacrosse to varsity status," Slaats said. "Our club teams have been successful for years and we're confident they can quickly become highly competitive varsity programs in conference competition and at the NCAA Division III level. Other varsity teams at the College have achieved a combined 70 percent winning record over the past two years with seven representing Lake Forest in NCAA postseason play. Forester lacrosse will be the latest addition to our longstanding Tradition of Excellence."
