After a season of inscribing their names into Butler lore, the Butler women’s lacrosse team returns to action this year. The Bulldogs completed their first season in program history in 2017.

The Bulldogs finished 1-16 last year, with their lone win coming against Gardner-Webb University.

Last season’s roster included a combination of freshmen, transfers and club lacrosse players. Entrusted to put the pieces together was head coach Cecil Pilson, who previously spent 11 seasons coaching at Mercyhurst University.
