The team celebrates a goal last season against Ohio State at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium.
After struggling last season in the Great Western Lacrosse League (GWLL), the men’s lacrosse team looks to find success in its new conference.
The Pioneers are now members of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) and will be competing against new schools such as Loyola and Fairfield. However, DU will still play old conference rivals Ohio State, Air Force, Bellarmine and Quinnipiac which left the GWLL last season as well.
“It’ll be a change of competition and it will in the long run make us a better team,” said senior Dillon Roy about playing new teams this year.
By joining the ECAC, DU become’s a member of the largest conference in the United States. The ECAC has 312 members’ schools spanning across NCAA divisions I, II and III.
