The University of the District of Columbia today announced the addition of men’s and women’s lacrosse to its athletic offerings. Both teams will begin competition in Spring 2014.
“The University of the District of Columbia is elevating its profile nationally and locally, and athletics is a large part of the university’s vision,” said UDC President Allen Sessoms. “After our first full year in the East Coast Conference, the addition of lacrosse exhibits our significant commitment to sports sponsorship criteria and to the conference. Adding men’s and women’s lacrosse will not only enable us to recruit quality student-athletes from the region and nationally, but it will also allow us to continue to build on the recent successes in athletics. It is an exciting time to be a Firebird!”
UDC is a member of the Division II East Coast Conference.
