PALATINE HILL -- Women's lacrosse and men's soccer teams will soon take the field at Lewis & Clark as the college's 20th and 21st intercollegiate sports. In a notice to the campus community earlier today, Lewis & Clark President Wim Wiewel said he has approved establishment of a women's lacrosse team at the college. Lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing collegiate sports. Wiewel also told faculty and staff that he is reinstating men's soccer, which was eliminated in 1990. The college already fields a women's soccer team.

"Adding lacrosse and soccer is an investment in Lewis & Clark's future," Wiewel said. "Not only will it attract new students who otherwise might not have come here for college, but we know Lewis & Clark's student-athletes have always been among our most outstanding students."
"This is an exciting time for Lewis & Clark athletics," Director of Physical Education & Athletics Mark Pietrok said. "Our coaches have proven to be recruiters of high-achieving student-athletes. I look forward to welcoming more quality students to our campus to help them reach their potential both in the classroom and the fields while contributing to the vitality of our department and community".Full Article
