Rhode Island College (D3) Adds Men's Lacrosse

Providence, R.I.—Rhode Island College President Jack Warner announced today the addition of men's lacrosse as RIC's 24th intercollegiate sport. Additionally, the women's lacrosse program will also be elevated to include a full-time head coach.

President Warner said, "Adding men's lacrosse at the present time fits in very well with our overall strategic enrollment plan of enhancing our male enrollment, while at the same time, recognizing the importance of equitably enhancing the women's lacrosse program. These two initiatives are very important as we recruit from very successful interscholastic and community-based lacrosse programs in the state during a period when the Hope Scholarship program is playing a key role in supporting Rhode Islanders as they seek affordability in continuing their education. It is also our hope that more out of state students will continue to make Rhode Island College their first choice when it comes to selecting a college with new and diverse academic programming, an enhanced campus and within a state that has some of the best natural resources the region has to offer."
