SAN FRANCISCO – The Pac-12 Conference announced today the approval to extend invitations to UC Davis and San Diego State to join Pac-12 women’s lacrosse as affiliate members, beginning no later than the 2023-24 season.

“We are excited to have UC Davis and San Diego State join Pac-12 women’s lacrosse as affiliate members,” said Pac-12 Deputy Commissioner Teresa Gould. “Women's lacrosse continues to be a rapidly-growing sport nationally, and we hope that the addition of two additional programs in the Pac-12 helps support continued growth on the West Coast.
