What is the history of the Division III North-South Lacrosse Game. How has the event evolved since its inception in 1940. Who are the key players and coaches involved in the 2023 USILA Senior All-Star Games.
The Origins of the North-South Lacrosse Game
The North-South College all-star lacrosse game has a rich history dating back to 1940. Established as a showcase for the top collegiate lacrosse talent, the inaugural game took place at Municipal Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. In that first matchup, the North squad, coached by Princeton’s Bill Logan, emerged victorious with a narrow 6-5 win over the South team, led by Maryland’s Jack Faber.
This initial contest set the stage for what would become an annual tradition in college lacrosse, with only brief interruptions in 1944 and 1945 due to World War II. The game has served as a platform for senior players to demonstrate their skills and potentially catch the eye of professional scouts.

Evolution of the North-South Game Format
Over the years, the North-South game has undergone several changes to adapt to the growing landscape of college lacrosse. One of the most significant shifts occurred in 1991 when the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) decided to split the event into two separate games: one for Division I-II players and another for Division III athletes.
This format continued until 2006 when a special USILA committee recommended reverting to a single game combining all divisions. However, this change was short-lived, and in 2007, the two-game format was reinstated, allowing Division III players to once again showcase their talents in a dedicated contest.
Timeline of Format Changes
- 1940-1990: Single game format for all divisions
- 1991-2005: Two separate games (Division I-II and Division III)
- 2006: Return to single game combining all divisions
- 2007-present: Two separate games reinstated
Notable Games and Performances in North-South History
Throughout its history, the North-South game has featured numerous memorable moments and standout performances. These games have not only showcased individual talent but also highlighted the competitive spirit between the regions.
1941: South’s Dramatic Comeback
In 1941, the South team orchestrated a thrilling comeback at Homewood Field in Baltimore. Trailing for 58 minutes, the South squad managed to secure a 7-6 victory, with Navy’s Dick Lazenby scoring the winning goal. This game demonstrated the unpredictable nature of all-star contests and the importance of perseverance.
1946: The Highest-Scoring Tie
The 1946 game at Homewood Field produced an unusual result – a 14-14 tie. This high-scoring affair saw dramatic swings in momentum, with the North leading 9-2 at halftime before the South mounted a furious comeback. Navy’s Lee Chambers played a crucial role, scoring two goals in the final three minutes of regulation and another in overtime to secure the draw.
1949: First Game Outside Baltimore
In a significant milestone, the 1949 game marked the first time the event was held outside of Baltimore. Hosted at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York, the game drew a record crowd of 5,409 spectators. The South team capitalized on this historic occasion, securing an 11-6 victory and snapping a four-year winning streak by the North.
Impact of the North-South Game on College Lacrosse
The North-South game has played a crucial role in the development and promotion of college lacrosse. By bringing together the best senior players from across the country, the event has:
- Fostered inter-regional competition and camaraderie

- Helped raise the profile of college lacrosse nationwide
Additionally, the game has often served as a barometer for the strength of lacrosse programs in different regions, with shifts in dominance reflecting the sport’s growth and development across the country.
The Significance of the Division III North-South Game
With the creation of a separate Division III game in 1991, the USILA recognized the importance of showcasing talent from smaller schools. This decision has had several positive outcomes for Division III lacrosse:
- Increased visibility for Division III programs and players
- Created more opportunities for Division III seniors to participate in a prestigious all-star event
- Highlighted the high level of play in Division III lacrosse
- Strengthened the Division III lacrosse community
The Division III North-South game has become an important event in its own right, celebrating the achievements of players who may not receive as much national attention as their Division I counterparts but who demonstrate exceptional skill and dedication to the sport.
Coaching Legacies in the North-South Game
Throughout its history, the North-South game has been led by some of the most respected coaches in college lacrosse. These mentors have played a crucial role in shaping the event and providing guidance to the all-star players.
Early Coaching Luminaries
- Bill Logan (Princeton): Coached the North team to victory in the inaugural 1940 game
- Jack Faber (Maryland): Led the South team in the first two North-South games
- Morris Touchstone (Army): Guided the North to a dominant 15-3 win in 1947
These early coaches set the standard for excellence and sportsmanship that would define the North-South game for decades to come. Their involvement lent credibility to the event and helped establish it as a showcase for the best in college lacrosse.
Impact of Coaching on Player Development
The opportunity to work with different coaches in an all-star setting has provided valuable experiences for players participating in the North-South game. This exposure to varied coaching styles and strategies has often contributed to players’ growth and preparation for potential professional careers.

The crowd of 4,000 was below the usual attendance for the All-Star game but still excellent since Princeton agreed to take the game at a very late date. In the overtime period, Doug Schrelber of Maryland put the South ahead on a shot from the front of the crease.
