The George Washington Revolutionaries women's lacrosse team is a varsity intercollegiate athletic team of George Washington University in Washington, D.C., United States. The team is a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference, which is part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I. George Washington's first women's lacrosse team was fielded in 2002.
History
[edit]As part of a new athletic funding plan passed on June 15, 1998 by the George Washington University Board of Trustees, women's lacrosse was added as a varsity sport.[2]
George Washington played its first women's lacrosse season in 2002, finishing with a 4-12 record.[3] The team played its first game in program history on March 3, 2002, defeating the Marist Red Foxes 10-3.[4]
The Revolutionaries have never won an Atlantic 10 tournament championship or qualified for the NCAA tournament. George Washington's best record in team history came in the 2005 season under head coach Chrissy Lombard when the team finished 13-5 overall and 5-2 in conference. The 2005 season ended in a 13-10 loss to the Duquesne Dukes in the Atlantic 10 tournament semifinals.[5]
In 2007, George Washington went 11-7 overall and 6-1 in conference play and was Atlantic 10 regular season champions alongside the Richmond Spiders.[6] Richmond would go on to defeat George Washington in the Atlantic 10 tournament finals on May 6, 2007 and win the 2007 Atlantic 10 conference championship.[7]
