Bob Jones University (SC Pursing NCAA D3 Membership) Adds Women's Lacrosse

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.

We are looking forward to the future of Trojan athletics with great anticipation."

Newberry College (D2 SC) Adds Men's Lacrosse

NEWBERRY – Director of Athletics Ralph Patterson has announced the addition of men’s lacrosse as Newberry’s 20th NCAA Division II sport and the hiring of Nick Cotter to lead the program into its first season of competition in the spring of 2018. Lacrosse has been a mainstay on campus since 2012, when the women’s game first came to Newberry. Home games will be played at Setzler Field, with the men’s lacrosse program joining football, field hockey, and women’s lacrosse at the facility that first hosted Newberry contests in 1922.

Cotter will serve as the program’s inaugural head coach. Cotter had a remarkable collegiate playing career as a three-time All-American at Dowling College that led the Golden Lions to their first-ever Division II national title game appearance in 2006. He has spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach at Saint Leo University in Florida, where he helped the 2016 Lions to a 9-5 overall record and a final ranking just outside the top 20 in the coaches’ poll.

“I’m thankful that Newberry has given me the opportunity to come in and start the program from scratch,” said Cotter. “I look forward to contributing to the winning culture here and joining the Newberry family.” “We had an outstanding pool of applicants,” said Patterson, “and Nick's name kept coming up from people we had conversations with in our search. We're excited that he's joining the Newberry College family. We look forward to watching him build a great lacrosse program.”
