Dragons start Lacrosse era

Women’s Lacrosse is the 19th NCAA Division II athletic program offered by Tiffin University. It is also the 10th women’s athletics program the university offers. The team will compete as an Independent program beginning in the spring of 2010 and will compete at the Paradiso Athletic Fields. A total of 42 NCAA Division II institutions compete in women’s lacrosse, including programs at Gannon University, Mercyhurst University, Seton Hill University, and Wheeling Jesuit University. Women’s lacrosse is also a sponsored sport of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.

"I am grateful to President Marion and Athletic Director Allen for giving me this opportunity. Tiffin impressed me as a school that can embrace out-of-the-box thinking and in that spirit our program will feature a unique style of play. My philosophy is based on my conviction that lacrosse is a player’s game, not a coaches game,” said Head Coach Mark Schreiber. “We will play a Kentucky Fastbreak style of attack that stresses unified decision making at the individual level. My players also play a major role in managing the game. I believe it is vital to teach our student athletes how to think rather than what to think. Our program will teach our players how to thrive in chaos on and off the field.”

"We are excited at the prospect of adding women’s lacrosse to our athletic department,” said Lonny Allen, Athletic Director. “It is an up-and-coming sport similar to what women’s soccer was in the late 1980s. We felt it was a good time to be proactive and expand into what we see as a growth sport. Coach Schreiber has a real passion for the sport. It will be a pleasure to watch him bring his love of coaching and recruiting into the program as it develops over the next year.”
