Your Support Matters
The primary goal of the Women’s Lacrosse program is to provide the best student-athlete experience both on and off the field. By creating a positive, inclusive culture that focuses on developing the student as an athlete, a scholar and a member of the community, our hope this that the young women that are part of our program today, will go on to be great leaders tomorrow. Your support will have a direct impact on their success as student-athletes and on the program.
OUA Varsity teams at the University of Guelph receive base funding from the Department of Athletics that covers league-related costs such as league fees, officiating and some travel. Programs must rely upon student-athlete fees and fundraising efforts to meet the rest of their operational needs. To minimize the financial impact on student-athletes, Women’s Lacrosse has set a goal to raise $9,000 annually to offset costs essential for the success of our program.

About Women’s Lacrosse
The Women’s Lacrosse team at the University of Guelph has existed since 1996. Recently, the program has been taken over by new leadership. This year’s team is comprised of 22 phenomenal and dedicated athletes; deserving of the best programming possible.
Each year, the team’s competitive goal is to win the OUA Championship, held at the end of October. Though Guelph has been able to reach the podium a few times in the last decade, the team looks to see their first ever 1st-place finish. With big goals in place and some exciting changes ahead, the Varsity Women’s Lacrosse Team, coaches and players alike, are planning to see a full program upswing.
