Does Valpo jump on the bandwagon?

Perhaps, but not now.  With Brown Field, now hosting three sports, I doubt an additional sports using the same field would be added at this time.  As the sports complex becomes reality, it may make sense to add a team or two.  Just my guess...

Keep in mind that Lacrosse is a spring sport and that would mean greater scheduling freedom as MSO and WSO are 'technically' fall sports.  HOWEVER, those two sports (along with T&F) actually go year-round and have spring practice and game schedules. The other (and probably more constraining) issue is locker space and access to the training staff and their already strained facilities for what would be another 70-90 men and women -- cuz both MLAX and WLAX would have to be started to meet Title IX.  So 72, I believe you're right about the timing.
