History

The SLC is formed from original members of the Western Collegiate Lacrosse League which was the largest MCLA conference in the nation at the time. Because of rapid growth and teams spread out over a very large area, the members decided it was best to start a new conference and the SLC was born August 2008 with the blessing of the WCLL and MCLA.

Currently, the SLC has 12 Division I teams and 10 Division II teams. The Division I and II teams are members of the MCLA and each divisional conference tournament winner receives an automatic bid to the MCLA National Tournament.[1]
