History

The Men’s Lacrosse program began in 1966 and alternated between the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Association (RMLA) and the US Lacrosse Intercollegiate Associates (USLIA) until 1991, when it transitioned into the NCAA Division II as a member of the RMILL. DU fully transitioned to NCAA Division I in 1999.

Denver is the only program west of the Mississippi to win the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Lacrosse championship. With an additional 6 Final Four appearances, 8 Quarterfinal appearances, and 13 tournament appearances, DU has established itself as the preeminent Division 1 Men’s Lacrosse program in the United States.
