UAH Department of Athletics is pleased to announce the addition of men's and women's lacrosse programs, increasing its number of varsity sports to 18. The teams will begin competition in the spring of 2016 at the NCAA Division II level, joining the 57 Division II institutions that sponsor men's lacrosse and the 85 that sponsor women's lacrosse. "Increasing opportunities for young people is always very gratifying," says UAH Director of Athletics Dr. E. J. Brophy. "We look forward to having our first UAH lacrosse student-athletes on campus next fall to compete for, and earn degrees from, one of the finest institutions in the country."
