CORNELL BIG RED WOMEN'S LACROSSE

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Cornell's women's lacrosse program competes within the Ivy League at one of the nation's oldest universities, founded in 1865 and situated in Ithaca, New York with an enrollment of 26,793 students. The Big Red play their home games at their designated venue and compete in the spring season as part of NCAA Division I within the Ivy League conference structure. Cornell fields a competitive roster competing against traditional lacrosse powerhouses throughout their conference schedule, drawing from one of the nation's most academically selective student-athlete populations. The program operates within an athletic department supporting 34 varsity sports across all three divisions.

As an Ivy League institution, Cornell women's lacrosse operates under the conference's strict recruiting and financial aid guidelines, competing primarily against other eight-member institutions including Yale, Princeton, and Pennsylvania. The Big Red program balances the rigorous academic environment at Cornell—where the student body averages among the highest SAT scores nationally—with training and competition demands of Division I spring lacrosse. Members of the women's lacrosse team represent one of the university's historic athletic traditions while maintaining the academic standards characteristic of Ivy League membership and Cornell's status as a research university with significant graduate and professional programs.
