Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference

The Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference (RMLC) is one of 10 conferences in the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association. Currently the RMLC consists of 16 teams encompassing five Rocky Mountain states; Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. It is divided into two divisions, Division I and Division II. Division II is separated further by region; East and West.^[1]

History

The RMLC, first known as the RMLA, was formed in 1976 with founding members Colorado State University, University of Colorado, Regis University, Air Force Academy, Denver University, and Colorado School of Mines. In 1997 the Conference changed names to the, Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Lacrosse League (RMILL) and went to a club-only league, and under the governing body of USLacrosse, as a member of the USLacrosse Intercollegiate Association (USLIA), which then became the USLacrosse Mens Division Intercollegiate Associates (USL-MDIA). In 2006, the executive board representing the club-only league moved to establish an entity separate of USLacrosse. The product of such is the MCLA.

The RMLC has been the home conference of the MCLA Division I National Champions in 1999, 2001, 2003, 2006 (Colorado State University)^[2] and in 1997, 2000, 2007, 2011 (Brigham Young University).^[3] As well as the MCLA Division II National Champions in 2008 (Westminster College).^[4]
