The Lady Pittsburgh Lacrosse Club has been a part of the University for over a decade and has built itself into a strong program that competes against excellent teams from all across the country. We play against other members of the Women’s Collegiate Lacrosse League (WCLL), members of the Women's Division Intercollegiate Associates (WDIA), as well as varsity teams from the Division I, II, and III levels. The games against other club teams in our league count in the statistics that determine whether the team receives an invitation to the regional playoffs each year. We have attended the WCLL regional tournament in Toledo, Ohio every year for the past several years. The women won the WCLL championship in 2006. In 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007, the team attended the WDIA national tournament. We look forward to a successful 2008 season and another trip to the national tournament! While the team concentrates on winning games, we are about having fun on and off the field as well! We are open to girls joining our team until mid-February, when our roster is due. The team practices at least twice a week and requires additional conditioning.
