The South Florida Bulls lacrosse team will represent the University of South Florida in the sport of women's lacrosse beginning in spring 2024. They will compete in the American Athletic Conference of NCAA Division I. The Bulls will play their home games at Corbett Stadium on USF's Tampa campus, which they will share with the USF men's and women's soccer teams. It is the university's newest varsity sports team and the first new USF team since football was established in 1997. It will be the first new women's team in an NCAA sport at USF since women's soccer in 1995 (USF's women's sailing team was established in 1997, but it competes in the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association rather than the NCAA).[2]

History[]

The USF women's lacrosse team was first announced in November 2021 and will become the university's 20th varsity sports team when they take the field in spring 2024.[3] Their first home field will be the on-campus Corbett Stadium which was built in 2011 as the new home for the Bulls soccer teams.[4] This will be a temporary arrangement until plans are made for a lacrosse-specific stadium some time in the future.[2]
