The announcement comes one day after the MCLA announced it would follow the lead of most other lacrosse organizations and suspend the season in hopes of decreasing the spread of COVID-19.
The MCLA is a national organization that governs men’s collegiate college lacrosse at the club level. Colorado is home to seven MCLA teams at the University of Colorado – Boulder, Colorado State University, University of Northern Colorado, University of Colorado – Denver, Colorado School of Mines, Fort Lewis College, and Metropolitan State University.
