The Cougars are making their fifth overall appearance in the WCLA championship tournament and are the only undefeated D-II team in the nation.
Rocky Mountain Women's Lacrosse League champion Boise State (8-1) comes in as the number two seed and is back in the championship for the fourth time. Two more WWLL teams round out the top four, with Concordia (10-3) receiving the No. 3 seed and UC San Diego (7-2) as the No. 4 seed.
Nearly 150 Division I and Division II teams comprise the WCLA and compete under the USA Lacrosse umbrella. The annual WCLA National Championship began in 2001 with a Division I tournament. The Division II championship was added in 2010.
Selections for the championship tournament are based on a variety of criteria, including, overall record, record versus ranked teams, results versus common opponents, quality wins/quality losses, head-to-head results, conference playoff performance, and final conference standings.
