Grove City adding men's lacrosse as 22nd varsity sport
GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Men’s lacrosse will become the 22nd intercollegiate
varsity sport at Grove City College, starting with the 2017-18 academic year.
The College will field its inaugural NCAA Division III varsity team effective
spring 2018 as a member of the Ohio River Lacrosse Conference (ORLC), a joint
venture between the Presidents’ Athletic Conference and the Heartland Collegiate
Athletic Conference.
“For many years, the men’s lacrosse team at the College
enjoyed a high level of success as a club sport program competing in the Men’s
Collegiate Lacrosse Association,” said Todd Gibson ’02, Grove City College
athletic director. “As the College’s club lacrosse team has grown over the
years, we’ve seen increased interest in our ability to offer our student
athletes additional opportunities to compete at an even higher level. We’re
excited about elevating the men’s program to official varsity status.”
Grove City College is committed to offering many and varied
athletic opportunities for its men and women to not only compete, but to build
character – physically, spiritually and mentally.
