HISTORY (UPDATE)
As a charter member of the United States Club Lacrosse Association (USCLA), formed in 1960, Mt. Washington won “Open” or “Club” championships 6 times in the 60’s. In the 70’s, they won USCLA championships in 1975, 76 and 77. The Wolfpack won additional championships in 1990, 91, 93 and 95. In 1996, the first attempt at a professional outdoor lacrosse league was created which now takes the form of the Major Lacrosse League (MLL) since 2001. Prior to that, the Major Indoor Lacrosse League (MILL) was already several years old tracing it’s origins to the Eagle Box Pro League in 1987. Both of these leagues had a debilitating effect on the players available to play at the club level.
With the increasing influence of the two professional leagues, the USCLA succumbed to losing so many players and disbanded while joining the American Lacrosse League (ALL) in 2007.
In 1999, the historic Mt. Washington social club effectively disbanded and sold the clubhouse and Norris Field located on Cottonworth Avenue to the Bryn Mawr School. Bryn Mawr has been gracious in support of the long-standing tradition of the Mt. Washington Lacrosse Club to enable us to continue to play at Norris Field (named after famed Wolfpack coach Kid Norris) where so many legendary players have performed.
