Best women's lacrosse colleges?

Hey! I'm a high school junior and I play lacrosse. I'm looking for colleges with strong women's lacrosse programs. Any suggestions?

Hey there! It's great that you're looking to continue playing lacrosse in college. There are quite a few schools with strong women's lacrosse programs, but I'll focus on a mix of both Division I and Division III schools to give you a good range of options. Keep in mind that you'll need to balance your interest in the lacrosse program with academics, social life, and other factors that are important to you.

Here are some Division I schools with strong women's lacrosse teams:

1. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

2. Boston College

3. University of Maryland

4. Syracuse University

5. Stony Brook University

6. Northwestern University

7. University of Virginia

8. University of Pennsylvania

Some Division III powerhouses on the women's lacrosse front are:

1. Gettysburg College

2. Middlebury College

3. Washington and Lee University

4. Salisbury University

5. Tufts University

6. Franklin & Marshall College

7. Bowdoin College

8. Amherst College

While these schools have strong lacrosse programs, remember that getting recruited or making the team can be competitive. It's advisable to reach out to coaches, attend showcases or recruiting camps, and have a highlight reel to showcase your skills. In the meantime, keep working hard on and off the field, and don't forget to keep your academics strong and maintain involvement in other extracurricular activities that interest you. Good luck!
