The IWLCA is excited to announce that ILWomen will be the official content partner of the IWLCA Tournament Series in 2021, bringing lacrosse fans regular post-event content, highlights and a behind-the-scenes look from the premier lacrosse event series. The IWLCA Tournament Series, which includes both regional and national girls’ recruiting events, is the official event series of the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association, managed and run with the expertise of Elite Tournaments. 

“I’m thrilled to be continuing our content partnership with the IWLCA, highlighting the uniqueness of their recruiting tournament series—while bolstering our own women’s recruiting content,” said Halley Griggs, IL’s Women’s Director. “Last fall, we transmitted our first-ever girls’ recruiting issue. Continuing to elevate our women’s recruiting coverage is a primary goal of Inside Lacrosse’s in 2021 and beyond. The IWLCA draws such an incredible collection of teams from all over the country, with events coast-to-coast. We’re excited to highlight those athletes and begin sharing their stories in just a few short months.”

IWLCA Executive Director, Liz Robertshaw, added, “ILWomen has made a commitment to truly be the leader in women’s lacrosse coverage at all levels of the game, especially promoting the next generation of players, and having them integrated in our events will be a huge add for the player, their families and our coaching members.”
