SBCC WLAX to Compete Under UCSB Rec Sports - Nov 2, 2007 Santa Barbara, CA - The SBCC women's lacrosse team will compete as part of the UCSB Recreation Department during the 2008 season. Their designation will be UCSB "C" Team since UCSB already carries "A" & "B" teams. UCSB Recreation Director Paul Lee and Club Sports Coordinator Taggart Malone have approved the designation of a UCSB "C" team that will use SBCC students. The Rec Department already has a policy in place that allows SBCC students to sign up for Intramurals and Sport Clubs as well as use the recreation facilities at UCSB, like the RecCen. The SBCC/UCSB C Team
will compete in the WWLL North DII as a provisional member so it may
use students from a mix of institutions in the inaugural season. Starting in 2009 the
SBCC team will roster only SBCC students in order to be a full member
of the WWLL. The league student-athlete eligibility rules require that full
member teams use players who are full-time students at the institution
they're representing on the field. More information is available in Section VI of
the WWLL By-Laws. SBCC Joins Western Women's Lacrosse League - Oct 6, 2007 Oakland, CA - The SBCC Women's Lacrosse Club has a home.
