RMAC Adds Men's Lacrosse as Conference Sport
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. --- Men’s lacrosse is being added as an official Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference sport starting in the 2015-16 school year.
Participating members will be Adams State University, Colorado Mesa University, CSU-Pueblo and Westminster College. Rockhurst University (Kansas City, Mo.) will also participate as an associate member.
"Lacrosse has been the fastest growing sport in the NCAA and we are pleased to support the program for our male student-athletes while enhancing the development of the sport within the Rocky Mountain region,” said RMAC Commissioner Chris Graham. “It is always rewarding when the membership can expand competitive opportunities.”
With the addition of men’s lacrosse, the RMAC now sponsors 23 sports, the most in the 105-year history of the conference. This is the first men’s sport added to the RMAC since men’s swimming and diving in 2008. Women’s lacrosse became an official RMAC sport in 2013.
Colorado Mesa was 9-3 in 2015, winning the Western Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (WILA) with a perfect 6-0 conference record.
More information about RMAC Men’s Lacrosse, including schedules, will be made available in the upcoming months.
