LaxTV Forums | A Forum About The MCLA

So the start of the new season has me wanting to work some more on the WCLL History Project. I have received a lot of help and hope to "publish" something soon.
However, I do have an incomplete history of the California Lacrosse Association/WCLL Champions. So I seek the knowledge of the message board to help me out.
Right know I have the "official" formation of the California Collegiate Lacrosse Association (the direct precursor to the WCLL?) prior to the 1980 season.
The league was then renamed the WCLL prior to the 1981 or 1982 season (the name change occured to recognize the AZ schools that joined the league.
Before the 1980 season I know that the CLA existed, but I am thin on facts regarding if there was a collegiate division and men's club or if they were combined.
Anyways, here is the VERY incomplete champions list (Div. A only for now)

Any one have additional info I can add or know of any alumni interested in helping me out with this project?

THANKS!

I don't know about the entire list, but Cal won the WCLL championships in 1994, 1998 and 2000 in addition to 1995.

Also I'm pretty sure those ASU championships you have listed were when they were still in DII.

I added a few more things...still need a lot of help to get a full list. If any WCLL teams out there have a record/history book please help me out!
A few questions for the boarders...when did the WCLL expand to a B division?
Thanks,
Will

1997 - Whittier beat 'Zona in the final. UCSB beat 'Noma in the 3rd place game. 'Zona and SB earned trips to the initial National Championship in Fenton.

I believe Whittier won the south, with 'Zona second. 'Noma won the north, with UCSB second and Santa Clara third.

For completeness, you might want to add which WCLL team went the furthest in the national championship.

1997 UCSB (2nd)
1998 Cal (1st)
1999 'Noma (3rd)
2000 'Noma (3rd)?
2001 Stanford (2nd)
2002 'Noma (1st)
2003 UCSB (2nd)
2004 UCSB (1st)
2005 UCSB (1st)
2006 ?
