We opened up 2017 play over the weekend with a big W over UNT with a score of 11-5. We head back to Texas this weekend with a massively important conference double header again Texas State & SMU. If we come out 2-0 on the weekend, we are in the driver's seat for the conference tournament seeding.

Here's our season schedule so you can come on out & catch us in action!

Thank you to Tigers Roar on Pelican Sports TV with Tommy Krysan for their coverage of LSU Lacrosse this season & terrific end of season recap segments:

MLAX Coach Jeff Echols


WLAX Coach Casey McDonald

The men's team has been an established LSU Club Sport since the 70s.

They, along with us (the women's team), are doing all we can to build a solid foundation for LSU Athletics to add 1 or both of us to the Varsity Athletics line-up.

Here is last night's segment on Tigers Roar with Coach Echols of the men's team discussing all of the successes of the 2015 season along with the great things to come in 2016:

US Lacrosse WCLA Academic All-American List

We are so proud of our 3 Juniors who earned such wonderful recognition:

Maggie Durci (Shreveport, LA/Caddo Magnet HS)
Rebecca Lambert (Kenner, LA/Mount Carmel Academy)
Reese Gassie (Leonardtown, MD/Leonardtown HS)

All 3 of these ladies will be coming back to the program for their senior year. We will be looking forward to them working to make the Academic AA list yet again along with a few more teammates!

We would also like to thank the LSU Reveille for publishing their article on our championship run:

Excellent question Lakebound.

The simple answer is that we are a young program trying to put together a quality product before moving up to the Div 1 level within the WCLA.
The parameters to compete in either division are up to the individual teams on where to compete. We base our currrent status on many factors. 1 of which would be our roster over the last 3 years.
Half of our current roster is made up of athletes who did not play lacrosse before college. Attempting to compete against current Division 1 programs in the WCLA would be quite the daunting task at this point in our program's early history. That said, we do compete against area Division 1 teams that we feel we can compete with such as Baylor, Houston, Tulane (currently working their way back into WCLA), & others in an effort to test ourselves.

But for us to consistently take on the Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, Florida (club), etc. at this point would be slightly counterproductive. This is due to those programs & many among the Division 1 ranks boasting rosters full of quapity talent with at least HS experience, many often with middle school/youth level starting points. However, we are striving to improve our program, improve our roster/"recruiting", & our budget so that we may someday move up a level while putting a quality product on the field.

The good people of TD can certainly assist us in our efforts by simply spreading the word across the Nation via social media, direct networking, etc that we have a quality lacrosse program here at LSU, for both the men & the women. Young players have an opportunity to receive a wonderful education here in Baton Rouge while finding themselves a roster in which they would see immediate & substantial playing time.

We can be reached via email, facebook, twitter, & of course through the LSU UREC Dept.

We have until 12pm tomorrow to submit our acceptance of the AQ bid.

We have earned the right to play for the #TWLL Division 2 Championship with our semifinal victory over a tough TCU by the score of 15-13.

Championship gametime is now approx. 1:15pm here at Caven Lacrosse Sports Complex. We will play the winner of SMU/Texas State.

Due to the threat of weather throughout the day, our semifinal game has been pushed up to 8am start time.
