Nov. 4—Gov. Roy Cooper recently recognized the Lenoir-Rhyne University Men's Lacrosse and Women's Triathlon teams on winning the 2023 and 2022 NCAA National Championship in their respective sports.
The Lenoir–Rhyne Bears are the athletic teams that represent Lenoir–Rhyne University, located in Hickory, North Carolina, in intercollegiate sports at the Division II level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The Bears have primarily competed in the South Atlantic Conference [1] since the 1989–90 academic year.
The Stadium currently serves as the home field for L-R football as well as men's and women's lacrosse team. It and also houses the university's spring commencement exercises. The Lenoir-Rhyne baseball team also used the facility as its home field until a baseball-specific ground was built across the street.
Because NCAA lacrosse for both men and women is a spring sport, this will not match the first overall season of competition for new teams, or the first season of competition in a new conference. For teams departing Division II, the departure will take place after the completion of that year's lacrosse season.
The championship game was played on May 28, 2023, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All other games were played at the campus of the higher-seeded team in the matchup. Lenoir-Rhyne defeated Mercyhurst in the final, 20–5, to win their first national championship.
There's another Lenoir-Rhyne prospect scouts are circling back en masse to watch — wide receiver Dareke Young, another freakish talent who is very much in the 2022 draft picture.
The new Big East sponsors lacrosse. From 2000–2010, they were a member of the ECAC Lacrosse League and before that, they competed as independents. [3] The Hoyas appeared in their first NCAA tournament in 1997, losing 14–10 to Maryland. Georgetown scored its first tournament victory in 1998, defeating UMBC, 9–8.
The university is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor's and master's degrees. Overall, Lenoir–Rhyne University has over 50 undergraduate majors and nearly 30 graduate programs. The university has campuses in Hickory, Asheville, and Columbia, South Carolina. [3]
