The ECAC Lacrosse League is an American NCAA Division I college athletic conference and part of the Eastern College Athletic Conference. Founded in 2000, this part of the conference only sponsors men's lacrosse.
History [edit]
The founding members included Georgetown University, Penn State University, Rutgers University, Stony Brook University, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and the United States Naval Academy. In 2005, Loyola College in Maryland, Hobart College, and St. John’s University joined the ECAC. And in 2006, Fairfield University joined the league. In 2010, the league added Air Force, Bellarmine, Denver, Ohio State and Quinnipiac, replacing Georgetown, Rutgers and St. John's, who left for the Big East Conference, and Massachusetts and Penn State, who left for the Colonial Athletic Association. In 2011, the ECAC added the University of Michigan Wolverines who were making their move from club level to NCAA Division I. They become full members in 2013, the same year in which Loyola's lacrosse team will join the rest of the school's sports in the Patriot League.
