JACKSON STATE TIGERS WOMEN'S LACROSSE

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Jackson State University, founded in 1877 and currently serving 6,564 students in Mississippi's capital, fields a women's lacrosse program competing at the Division I-FCS level within the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The Tigers compete during the spring season, representing one of the few established lacrosse programs at a historically Black university in the South. Jackson State's location in Jackson provides the program with a unique regional recruiting footprint in an area where lacrosse participation has traditionally been lower than in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Competing as part of the SWAC's growing athletic offerings, the Tigers women's lacrosse team operates within a conference that has expanded its lacrosse presence in recent years. The program joins Jackson State's broader athletic department, which manages multiple varsity sports across different NCAA divisions and conferences. As an FCS-level program, the Tigers participate in a competitive landscape that includes schools across the Southeast and beyond, working to establish their identity within both conference play and the broader women's lacrosse community at the Division I level.
