Florida Gators women's lacrosse
The Florida Gators women's lacrosse team represents the University of Florida in the sport of college lacrosse. The Gators compete in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and the Big East Conference, with the upcoming 2015 season being their first in that league. The Gators were formerly members of the American Lacrosse Conference (ALC), which folded after the 2014 season due to aftereffects of conference realignment. They play their home games in Donald R. Dizney Stadium on the university's Gainesville, Florida campus, and are currently led by head coach Amanda O'Leary. In the four-season history of the Gators women's lacrosse program, the team has won four ALC regular season championships and two ALC tournament championships, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2011 NCAA national championship tournament.
== Background and overview ==
The University Athletic Association (UAA) quickly proceeded from new idea to reality in the creation of its newest sports program—it decided to create a women's lacrosse program in 2005, publicly announced the new program in 2006, hired a head coach and joined a conference in 2007, and announced its first recruiting class and began construction of a dedicated lacrosse stadium in 2008.〔''( Florida Lacrosse 2011 Media Supplement )'', University Athletic Association, Gainesville, Florida, pp. 8–9, 43, 49 (2011). Retrieved May 4, 2011.〕 UAA officials selected women's lacrosse for its newest expansion sport because of the booming popularity of lacrosse at the high school level and the rapidly increasing competition available among Division I athletic programs.〔Adam West, "( Years in the making, Florida lacrosse debuts Saturday )," ''The Gainesville Sun'' (February 19, 2010).
