New York, N.Y. – On Wednesday afternoon, the Big East Conference announced that the Old Dominion women’s lacrosse team will join the league starting in 2019. The Lady Monarchs have been playing as an affiliate member of the Atlantic Sun conference since 2015, winning the conference title and first-time NCAA birth in 2016. ODU will continue to compete under the A-SUN for the 2017-2018 season.
“We are very excited to move forward and into the Big East next year. We are grateful for our time in the Atlantic Sun, and are ready to start a new chapter in ODU lacrosse history,” said ODU head coach Heather Holt.
