The program was upgraded to varsity in 2019,[2] previously competing as a club team in the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA). The Utes are one of three current NCAA Division I men's lacrosse teams west of the Mississippi River, along with Denver and Air Force. Utah plays its home games at the Ute Soccer Field, which has a capacity of 2,500.[3] The Utes have competed as an independent since its inaugural season of play in 2019. Through 2021, the team has an all–time record of 12-20.
