I hadn't heard of an official word there.

Univ. of the South (Sewanee, TN) will be starting a varsity team in 2008.

Also note- Rollins plays in the same D2 conference as St. Leo's in Tampa.

Sunshine State Conference:

The SSC includes Eckerd (SELC-B) plus other schools like Barry, Florida Tech, U of Tampa, Lynn University (Boca Raton), Nova Southwestern (Ft. Lauderdale), and Florida Southern.

You could have that Florida-only lacrosse league pretty quickly that many old time SELC fans dreamed of!

I doubt either school had a club team.

Sewanee had a team back in the late '80s/early '90s. I remember trying to book games with them when I was at UT but never could get anyone to follow through on their end.

I think he was asking about Rollins or TWU.
