I cheer for them as well. I only started following LAX last year and have found ithe men's game to be a fast paced, physical contest.
The Chapman Women's LAX moves from Club Sport, Division 1 to NCAA D3 next year as part of its SCIAC affiliation.
Last year the women won the Club Sport Division 2 national title. This year they have qualified for the Division 1 national tourney in Colorado Springs next week. It should be interesting to watch the level of competition at the D3 level vs the club sport level, as I haven't watched much D3 level except for what ESPN has televised.
The ever strong Chapman men's team remains a club sport. They are currently ranked #5 (and have qualified for the national tourney) in Division 1 against several very strong national club programs, BYU, Utah, Michigan...to list a few.
I believe that Whittier College was the first SCIAC school to start LAX...several years ago. My neighbor's kid was one of those that help start the craze on Orange County.
Good Luck to both SCIAC teams, although one will be eliminated after the first game, as they play each other in the first round. (sound familiar?)
