Wilmington University (D2 DE) Adds Men's Lacrosse
Monday, January 16, 2017
NEWARK, Del. - - The Wilmington University athletic department is proud to announce the addition of men's lacrosse to its expanding family starting competition in the spring of 2018.
The added sport will bring Wilmington's total up to 14 varsity programs.
Men's lacrosse has long been a staple in the Mid-Atlantic and is a continuing trend in Delaware. Being located along the I-95 corridor, Wilmington University will look to add to the East Coast bias and help the expansion of already rapidly growing sport.
"It's an exciting time for the athletic department with the addition of men's lacrosse," Director of Athletics Linda Van Drie-Andrzjewski said. "Not only does it mean growth within the department here at Wilmington, it means growth within the CACC and the sport of men's lacrosse in state of Delaware."

Chatham University (DIII PA) Adds Lacrosse
Tuesday, December 22, 2015
PITTSBURGH, Pa - The Chatham University Athletic Department would like to officially announce that they will be expanding in the 2016-2017 Academic Year by adding both Women's and Men's Lacrosse.
A search for new head coaches will begin immediately, and Chatham will play in the single-sport Ohio River Lacrosse Conferences (ORLC & ORWLC). These were formed in the fall of 2014 when the President's Athletic Conference (PAC) and the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) aligned to create these conferences for men's and women's lacrosse.
Current PAC members Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Washington & Jefferson College, and Westminster College sponsor men's and women's varsity lacrosse programs, with Bethany College sponsoring a men's program and Waynesburg University and Thomas More College a women's program. In addition, five HCAC member schools will compete in the ORLWC, while four HCAC member schools will compete in the ORLC.
"The addition of women's and men's lacrosse is an example of Chatham's ongoing commitment to the expansion and support of our athletic program," states Athletic Director Leonard Trevino. "We are excited to begin the process of building lacrosse programs that will compete at the highest levels, while continuing our traditions of academic excellence."

Wall Street Journal: Youth Sports Participation Down, But Lacrosse Way Up
Monday, February 03, 2014
A Wall Street Journal report, citing a variety of statistics and data from youth leagues, school organizations and industry groups, says participation in youth sports is down roughly 4% from 2008 to 2012.
Basketball and football were among the sports seeing the most participation decline. Theories on why participation has declined range from concussion concerns for football and — a word familiar to lacrosse fans — single-sport specialization in sports sucking the fun out of the games.
