The big news of today in the lacrosse world is that DII Lindenwood has announced its transition to DI effective this fall. Lindenwood's women's team is the reigning DII national champions, and their men's team is routinely in the top 10 for lacrosse as well.

With this move, Lindenwood's new home for athletics will be the Ohio Valley Conference. They will be eligible for conference championships immediately, and DI automatic bids beginning in 2026-27. This brings the men's lacrosse side back up to 74 teams, and puts another DI school in the Midwest. Big news for the whole lacrosse world!
