PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Howard University's women's lacrosse program competes within the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference at the Division I-FCS level, representing Washington, D.C., and an institution founded in 1867 with a current enrollment of 12,941 students. The Bison operate from their home venue in the nation's capital, where they balance competitive collegiate athletics with the university's broader academic mission spanning 140-plus years of historically Black higher education.

Women's lacrosse at Howard has developed as part of the university's athletic portfolio within a conference featuring regionally competitive programs across the mid-Atlantic and Southeast. The program draws student-athletes from the surrounding metropolitan area and beyond, contributing to the university's athletic infrastructure and spring sports calendar. Like other MEAC institutions, Howard's women's lacrosse team operates within the realities of competing at the FCS level, where resource allocation and recruiting priorities shape competitive performance across the conference's membership.

The Bison program reflects Howard's commitment to providing collegiate athletic opportunities for female student-athletes in one of America's fastest-growing sports, combining the demands of NCAA Division I competition with the university's emphasis on academic achievement and community engagement in Washington, D.C.
