Undefeated CSU San Marcos, champion of the Western Women’s Lacrosse League, has received the number one seed in the Division II bracket of the 2024 USA Lacrosse Women’s Collegiate Lacrosse Associates (WCLA) National Championship, to be played May 7-10 at the Stryker Sports Complex in Wichita, Kansas.
The Cougars (12-0) are making their fourth overall appearance in the championship tournament, and are one of two remaining undefeated teams in the nation.
Boise State (13-0), champion of the Rocky Mountain Women's Lacrosse League (RMWLL), is the number two seed and back in the championship for the third time. The Broncos defeated Air Force in the RMWLL title game last week.
Three teams from the Northeast Women’s Lacrosse League round out the top five seeds, with Providence at number three, Vermont at number four, and defending D-II champion New Hampshire Club at number five.
The WCLA National Championship showcases the nation’s premier non-varsity collegiate women’s teams. The Division II selections are comprised of a combination of teams earning automatic qualifiers as league champions and teams earning at-large berths.
The WCLA features over 150 Division I and Division II teams that compete under the USA Lacrosse umbrella. The annual WCLA National Championship began in 2001 with a Division I tournament. The Division II championship was added in 2010.
Selections for the championship tournament are based on a variety of criteria, including overall record, record versus ranked teams, results versus common opponents, quality wins/quality losses, head-to-head results, conference playoff performance, and final conference standings.
