After a study of developing trends in college athletics and considering emerging sports for women, the UAA has concluded that lacrosse is the most attractive option to be added to the University of Florida athletic program. With the addition of women's lacrosse, the UAA hopes to not only increase the number of female athletes participating in the program, but also to enhance Gator athletics as a whole.
