UCSD Men’s Lacrosse is a competitive club team that aims to give athletic and driven young men an outlet to grow their lacrosse skills in a competitive team environment. We compete in the MCLA (Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association) Division II Southwest Lacrosse Conference (SLC). We compete against teams such as USD, Northern Arizona, CSU San Marcos, and many other competitive teams across California and out of state.
The past three seasons we have earned a spot in the MCLA National Tournament and competed for the conference championship. Our goal for the 2024-2025 season is to win the conference championship and the national championship! During the fall, winter, and spring, the team practices three to four days a week —at night to avoid class conflicts. In season, games are 1 to 2 times a week either on weeknights or weekends. During the summer season, the team hosts a league that all players are encouraged to join to continue working on their skill for the following season.
Practices for the 2024-2025 season will take place throughout Weeks 1-2 of Fall quarter on Muir field. Look for us tabling Week 0 on Library Walk and near RIMAC. Feel free to email us with any further questions.
