Every game will be streamed live on LaxAllStars, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube free to watch for lacrosse fans worldwide.
Teams competing in the MCLA National Championships this year:
Big-time schools like those listed deserve big-time commentating and play-by-play, and that’s exactly what’s expected from the likes of Booker Corrigan, Greg Bice and and Lacrosse All Stars’ own Ryan Powell.
It was really important to have credible, passionate voices on the broadcasts that would add excitement and vast lacrosse knowledge to the on-field product and we couldn’t be more excited about the crew coming to Salt Lake City.
– Rick Kladis, Production Director

Here’s a little bit more about the MCLA for those unfamiliar:
The Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) is a confederacy of 10 non-varsity college lacrosse conferences featuring over 200 teams in two divisions across 43 states and two countries. The MCLA provides a governing structure similar to the NCAA, consisting of eligibility rules, national polls, and a national tournament to decide national champions for both Divisions I and II.
On an individual scope, the MCLA’s rules and structure promote “virtual varsity” lacrosse. On a national scale, the MCLA’s infrastructure supports a level playing field through eligibility rules and enforcement, along with the use of NCAA rules of play. Providing a quality college lacrosse experience where varsity lacrosse does not yet exist, the purpose of the MCLA is to provide access to the collegiate game for those who seek it.
