History

Over the years, Eastern's lacrosse team has improved greatly. In 2009, the team had a record of 7-8. The three seasons after that the team has a combined record of  34-16.

Last year was the most successful year in program history. The team won their first MAC Championship and had a record of 13-5.

The MAC Championship was played here against Widener University. Widener had won the MAC many times and everyone thought they would do it again. After being down by four in the third quarter, Eastern was finally able to tie it up with less then a minute left in the game. The game was sent to overtime where Eastern was able to score on their first possession and win the game.

With winning the MAC, Eastern got their first bid in the NCAA tournament. Their first opponent was Cabrini who were ranked 6th in the nation. Sadly, Eastern's season ended at Cabrini in a 17-3 heartbreaking loss.

This video will show you the amazing run Eastern had this season and their amazing comeback victory over Widener. See ya next week.
