There are still three months to go before new Division 1 women’s lacrosse seasons begin, and it will be a different set-up than it was a year ago.
Unlike the Division 1 men’s landscape, which saw two new conferences begin sponsoring the sport and two others drop it, realignment on the women’s side is more modest, though it is significant.
The two leagues absorbing the most change in our region are the America East conference and the Northeast Conference (NEC).
America East dominoes began falling last spring when perennial power Stony Brook announced plans to join the CAA.
