Team history.
Club Status (1978-1983).
Stony Brook University fielded a men's club lacrosse team, founded by student Frank Ross, starting in 1978.
Ross played lacrosse throughout high school and on arriving at Stony Brook found a netless goal in the woods north of G Quad and no team.
In the spring of 1978, posters were placed around the University and a general meeting was held that spring with a very large turnout.
The team assembled for its first practice on the field west of H Quad near the intramural fields.
Approximately 35 players showed up.
The club's first coaches were volunteers that offered to coach at the first meeting.
The head coach was Bert Campbell and assistant coach Vince Droser.
Without funding, the team was limited to local scrimmages and practice was in pinnies.
In general, there was a lack of support for the club particularly by the phys ed department.
However, Stony Brook's track and field coach Paul Dudzick had a vision and helped guide Ross in growing the team.
After the first season, Ross approached the student government, Polity, and drew up a charter for the club and petitioned the government for funding.
With the backing of Benedict College senator Steve Finklestein, Polity awarded an initial funding of $500.
With this, helmets, gloves and other equipment were purchased.
With limited funds, the club hired their first coach, Dave Schmitz, who played lacrosse in college.
Dave was embraced by the team but his different style of coaching was not well received by the phys ed department.
Each spring, Ross was able to increase the funding by Polity by $500 for a final total of $2000 his senior year.
In his junior year, an add was placed in the local three village paper advertising for a paid lacrosse coach.
Two candidates responded and the position was awarded to Coach John Ziegler who was the athletic director The Stony Brook School just on the other side of the tracks from the University.
Coach Ziegler was able to leverage games against an increasing caliber of schools.
During its first four years, Stony Brook was able to compete against Hofstra's B team, SUNY Albany, Dowling, St. John's and various clubs including Montclair in New Jersey.
One of the oddest games the club played was against Columbia University on a small lawn across from the lion statues and no windows were broken.
There were many obstacles during the team's inception that made competing difficult.
Obtaining permission to play on a field was always a challenge as well as getting permission to get the fields lined.
Travel to and from games were by university vans for which various requisitions had to be completed.
Scheduling games was a challenge as many universities did not want to scrimmage against a club team.
However, the number of games played increased each year particularly under Coach Ziegler's supervision.
Ross graduated in 1981 leaving the team under the direction of Coach Ziegler.
In 1993, Ross was inducted into Stony Brook's VIP Hall of Fame. 
Known as the "fastest sport on two feet", lacrosse is a traditional Native American game.
According to Native American beliefs, playing lacrosse is a spiritual act used for healing and giving thanks to the "Creator".
They would also play the game to resolve minor conflicts between tribes, that were not worth going to war for.
Thus the name little brother of war.
These games could last several days and as many as 100 to 1,000 men from opposing villages or tribes played on open plains, between goals ranging from to several miles apart.
The first Europeans to observe it were French Jesuit missionaries in the St. Lawrence Valley, in the 1630s.
The name "lacrosse" comes from their reports, which described the players' sticks as like a bishop's crosier—"la crosse" in French.
The Native American tribes used various names: in the Onondaga language it was called "dehuntshigwa'es" ("they bump hips" or "men hit a rounded object"); "da-nah-wah'uwsdi" ("little war") to the Eastern Cherokee; in Mohawk, "tewaarathon" ("little brother of war"); and "baggataway" in Ojibwe.
Variations in the game were not limited to the name.
In the Great Lakes region, players used an entirely wooden stick, while the Iroquois stick was longer and was laced with string, and the Southeastern tribes played with two shorter sticks, one in each hand.
In 1867, Montreal Lacrosse Club member William George Beers codified the modern game.
He established the "Canadian National Lacrosse Association" and created the first written rules for the game, "Lacrosse: The National Game of Canada".
The book specified field layout, lacrosse ball dimensions, lacrosse stick length, number of players, and number of goals required to determine the match winner.
Women's lacrosse, a non-contact version of the sport originating in Scotland during the 1890s, is played by twelve players per side, on longer fields and with less protective equipment than the men's game requires.
In the 1930s Canadian businessmen established a version called box lacrosse to create business for ice hockey arenas during the summer months.
Box lacrosse is played indoors, with smaller nets, between two teams of six players, and strongly resembles the game its areas were designed for. 
In 1976, Woolley and John Dorflinger of North Delta, BC founded the North Delta Minor Lacrosse Association (NDML).
What initiated the move were the 40 registered lacrosse players residing in North Delta, British Columbia that were playing for Surrey minor teams.
Woolley set up a successful recruitment drive to promote lacrosse to children residing in his own community.
He also drafted up an association constitution and bylaws that complied with the "BC Societies Act".
During the same year, he became 2nd Vice President of the North Delta Minor Lacrosse Association. 
The Western Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (WILA) is a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II lacrosse-only college athletic conference composed of schools located in the Western United States.
All schools are members of other conferences in other sports.
WILA was formed at the beginning of the 2010-11 academic year in order to name a champion (which does not involve a tournament), players of the week, and an all-league team at the end of the season.
With no automatic qualifiers (AQ) currently in NCAA Division II men's lacrosse, conferences play a different role than in Division III.
The WILA is a loose confederation that not only assures games for its members, but also hopes to act as a catalyst for other NCAA Division II institutions looking to make a move to varsity lacrosse and eyeing stability.
"It's what you need to do in non-traditional areas," said Notre Dame de Namur men's lacrosse coach Steve Dini.
The WILA schedule features home-and-home contests with all schools.
The 2010-11 season included Adams State, Fort Lewis, Colorado Mesa and Regis competing in women's lacrosse, while Adams State, Dominican, Grand Canyon, Colorado Mesa and Notre Dame de Namur competed in men's lacrosse.
Lindenwood University joins the conference beginning with the 2011-12 academic year with both men's and women's teams.
They replaced Grand Canyon University, which left the conference at the end of the 2010-11 season, after the university announced that their program would compete at the club level in the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association.
The WILA concluded its second season in April 2012.
Colorado Mesa won the association's men's championship with a conference record of 6-2; the championship was the first for Colorado Mesa in the program's second year of NCAA lacrosse competition.
On the women's side, Lindenwood won the 2012 WILA women's lacrosse championship in the program's first season of NCAA competition.
The Lady Lions recorded an 8-0 conference record en route to the title.
The season saw additional membership changes when Lindenwood announced its men's program would join the new ECAC Division II Lacrosse League starting in the 2012-13 academic year.
The announcement was followed a week later by the addition of McKendree University's new women's lacrosse program starting in the 2012-13 academic year. 
Thailand Lacrosse was founded on January 2010, in Bangkok, Thailand by Prantarit Nerngchamnong, Naputt Assakul, and Pinyot Pibulsongram; the three Thais who used to play lacrosse back when they were attending schools in America.
While Prantarit worked on structuring, planning and promoting the program, the other two help gathered other former Thai players to join.
From the word of mouth, and through the use of social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter).
The Thais who've played, and never play before start showing up for a casual weekly practices at the soccer facility at the heart of Bangkok.
Thailand Lacrosse grew very quickly from there, so much so that they were confirmed as an Associate Member by the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) in July of that same year.
It was the quickest confirmation for an international program in the history of FIL (6 months), unfortunately the team could not participated in the FIL World Lacrosse Championship 2010 in Manchester, United Kingdom.
Although Thailand did played two games at the International level that year against the Hong Kong National team, once in Thailand, and another later that year in Bangkok.
Both time Thailand defeated Hong Kong National team, and kept the Friendly Cup Trophy in Thailand.
Thailand only defeat came at the hand of Singapore in 2011, in a 10-9 thriller at the Yamaha Stadium.
Thailand bounced back from the lost, and defeated Hong Kong once again in Bangkok with the final score of 20-14.
Recently, Thailand defeated Singapore 9-2 in Bangkok, Thailand.
While the National team progress is very promising for such a young program, TLA also focus its effort in "Growing the Game" in Thailand.
TLA hosted the FIL clinic in the early part of 2011, followed by an exhibition game in Bangkok called the Grow The Game Invitational with the Lacrosse All-Stars Lacrosse network that host the Thailand lacrosse blog.
Players from America, and other part of the world came to participated in Friendly game in front of the Thai crowds.
Currently on top of the work on the national program, TLA is working on helping local Universities, and schools starting a lacrosse program in their institutions.
Since then, the national team have competed in many games, and tournament within the region.
Including the ASPAC2013 in Beijing, the regional championship where the team finished 3rd behind Japan and Australia.
While maintaining it commitment to the lacrosse development in Thailand.
TLA continue to set up development clinics with in various lower, and upper educational institutions.
The team focus for FIL World Lacrosse Championship 2014, in Denver, Colorado.
This will be the first time for Thailand at the World Games, and it will marked an important mile stone in Thailand Lacrosse history.
