We look forward to extending that experience to women's lacrosse athletes."

Dix Hills, NY – Five Towns College Athletic Director Matt Guercio announced today that the department will expand for the 2023-2024 academic year by adding Men's and Women's Lacrosse to its varsity program. The addition of these two new programs would be the 9th and 10th teams for the performing arts-oriented college. Currently, Five Towns College offers men's and women's basketball, soccer, volleyball and cross-country – although the volleyball and cross-country programs were placed on hiatus during the pandemic and will resume for the 2023-24 academic year as well.
"The addition of men's and women's lacrosse will enhance our athletic portfolio, but more importantly provide additional opportunities for the entire college community," said Guercio. "Long Island has produced some of the greatest players the game of lacrosse has ever seen. It remains the Island's game and competition will now take place at the intercollegiate level in Dix Hills." In making the announcement, Guercio noted that the College will be announcing its choice for both men's and women's Lacrosse Head Coaches shortly, and that student-athlete recruitment for the new teams has already begun. All prospective student-athletes interested in joining the lacrosse team should complete the Prospective Student-Athlete Form or email athletics@ftc.edu.
