The Poets have played NCAA lacrosse since 1980. The program’s end means there are no NCAA men’s teams in California.
Just the image of a lacrosse player, stick held high, charging helmet-first across the field evokes “East Coast boy’s prep school.”
Lacrosse’s popularity in western states has accelerated in more modern times, but now, with the shuttering of the only men’s National Collegiate Athletic Association team in California, that slow march is at a standstill.The loss of Whittier College men’s lacrosse, an NCAA team since 1980, means there are no NCAA men’s teams left in California, according to Matt Holmes, NCAA’s assistant director of media coordination and statistics.
Carter is making Saturday special for the Poets and their fans. In addition to the Purple and Gold tailgate, there will be an alumni gathering before the 1 p.m. game at Memorial Stadium, and there will be a special dedication for the seniors. And, no doubt, there will be tears.
