MCLA Players Playing in the NLL
Many MCLA and MDIA players have gone on to play professionally in the MLL and NLL. There are currently ten active players in the NLL who played in the MCLA for at least one season.

The History of Whittier Lacrosse
Whittier College in Orange County, California, is the latest college to drop its NCAA lacrosse program.

The Struggle of Purchasing MCLA Gear
I wanted to take some time to explain the process behind MCLA teams ordering gear for themselves and to sell to others, as the process is not as simple as you may think.

Most of them have had MCLA teams at one point, but were disbanded for various reasons.
