Women Lax conference?

[Vowelguy]

Just curious if there's been any announcement on what league the Women's Lax team will play in going forward. The BE is desperate for teams, so I guess they could stay there.

Although going to the A-10 with regional rival UMass and AAC's Temple might have some appeal.

It hasn't been reported widely, but I've read a few newspaper stories that reported that the AAC and new Big East teams are going to combine their Field Hockey and women's lacrosse teams for the coming school year under the Big East banner. After that first year, they will reevaluate to see if the teams involved want to continue to operate a combined set up. Here's one sample story:

I was looking at the wikipedia article on the Big East, and found out that Old Dominion will have not only their Field Hockey team in the Conference, but their Women's Lacrosse team as well.
