All of the new college lacrosse programs beginning in 2019
One of my favorite annual posts is finding out which schools are adding lacrosse for the 2019 season. We all know the Division I programs starting up, but there’s also plenty of schools at the other levels.
This year, institutions from Division I all the way down to the NAIA are getting set to begin a new era with the addition of at least one lacrosse team to their list of sponsored athletic programs. Let’s see who’ll we’ll be welcoming this year (h/t The Growth Blog).

Here are some interesting stats I found:
- 12 of the 28 schools fielding programs are starting men’s teams, with 10 of those 12 solely starting men’s teams.
- 18 of the 28 schools fielding programs are starting women’s teams, with 16 of those 18 solely starting women’s teams.
- Two schools are fielding both men’s and women’s teams.
- Division III has 16 new programs beginning in 2019. Division II has five new programs for this year, while every other level each has three programs starting up for this season.
- In the next three years, two Division I schools will be adding women’s lacrosse. Akron is starting their program in 2020, while Pittsburgh will begin in 2022.
- Two other programs will also join Division I next season, but not as “new” programs. D1 LIU Brooklyn and D2 LIU Post are merging both of their athletic teams to compete under Long Island University. LIU Post has a men’s team and will be a member of the Northeast Conference in 2020. LIU Brooklyn and LIU Post both have women’s teams and will be one of the sports that merges their teams. Merrimack will begin a four-year transition period as a member of the NEC.
- This year in Division I, there will be 73 men’s teams (St. Bonaventure and Utah are new) and 116 women’s teams (Kent State is new). Division II will have 71 men’s teams and 112 women’s teams. Division III will have 248 men’s teams and 294 women’s teams.
- In total, there are 392 total men’s NCAA teams and 522 total women’s NCAA teams for a total of 914 programs.
30 total programs join the college lacrosse ranks in 2019. Not a surprise, but the smaller schools are growing rapidly, and there’s some that have desired to start programs, but have had to put their plans on hold (Quincy University in Division II is starting their program up next season).
As for men’s Division I, it’s a notable year for the sport on both men’s and women’s versions. Yet another women’s team in Kent State is welcomed for 2019, while the men’s game sees St. Bonaventure and Utah, the westernmost program at the D1 men’s level, begin their years. Utah could be the starting point for more programs out west, as well as other FBS schools, to start considering adding the sport.
There haven’t been any new D1 schools announce their intentions to field a men’s lacrosse team lately. After the 2020 season, we’ll be at 75 teams with the next to be determined.
Former NCAA DI Teams That Need to Comeback – Lacrosse Bucket

Over the course of the history of college lacrosse there have been many teams that have come into existence. While some teams stay there are other programs that get the axe for an array of reasons, including Title IX and financial issues. However, putting all issues aside and just looking at logic from a lacrosse perspective here are some schools that NEED to bring back their program and make the most sense, as well.
UConn
The Huskies had a program in the 70’s and 80’s and officially dropped the sport in 1983. The amount of talent that the state of Connecticut and surrounding areas produce every year is pretty big and a revitalized UConn lacrosse program could really benefit from that. Also, with them moving back to the Big East in 2020-21 they would immediately have conference.
The Huskies apparently have at least one major donor behind resurrecting the men’s lacrosse program and the Connecticut lacrosse community sounds to be 100% behind the idea, as well.
New Hampshire
Similarly to UConn, the Wildcats could have some success in lacrosse due to their location and territory they could rope off in recruiting. New Hampshire dropped their program following the 1997 season. If they brought it back there is no question that they could have success, just like their brothers to the west at the University of Vermont.
Boston College
The Eagles dropped their program back in 2002. While the program may have not been taken very seriously by the school when they were around, Boston could certainly support a Boston College men’s lacrosse program, especially with Harvard and Boston U. both having programs now. Again, it just makes too much sense not to happen.
NC State
Duke and North Carolina both have very strong programs, so why not bring back NC State to bring some more muscle to the Tobacco Road college lacrosse scene? The Wolfpack had a program that lasted from 1973-82 and had some strong teams.
Butler
When Butler dropped their program in 2007 it was a shock. Since then their athletic department has grown, especially with their success in basketball, and the game has grown even more in the midwest than it had at the time.
Michigan State
The Spartans dropped their program in 1995. Since then, their rival Michigan has added lacrosse and has recently made a huge commitment to lacrosse with new facilities, and the Big Ten is arguably the best conference in DI at the moment. C’mon Michigan State…we’re waiting.
Morgan State
They dropped their program back in 1981 and were the first HBCU to add the sport. The Bears had some real success and with the emergence of Hampton in DI and University of D. C. in DII it would be even more sweet to see Morgan State comeback. Also, their location is prime for college lacrosse. It would be utterly fantastic to see them comeback sometime soon.
Columbia
Columbia was one of the first colleges to have lacrosse way back in the 1880s and dropped the program in prior to the 1912 season, despite some efforts to save it. Columbia is the only Ivy League school that doesn’t have men’s lacrosse, so yeah, the Lions should get back into it. Also, their football stadium makes a great lacrosse venue, as seen from hosting the Ivy League tournament the past two seasons.
