History

History:  The women’s lacrosse program was created in 2013, and the college does not have a men’s program. Highlights from the lacrosse program include three All-Midwest Women’s Lacrosse Conference selections in inaugural season (2015) and Wartburg has had an All-Conference selection in all three seasons in program history. Wartburg College has had both a men’s and women’s rugby program in the past, starting around 1975. In 2013, a rugby club was created as a student organization, but it did not last more than a year or two. Currently, all rugby programs have been disbanded.

Timeline: Lacrosse: 2013-Present. Rugby: 1975-2014.
