A dominating second half performance carried Delaware Club to its first national championship with a come-from-behind victory over No. 1 seed Pittsburgh in the US Lacrosse WCLA Division I Championship Tournament in Salt Lake City.

No. 7 seed Delaware upset the favored Panthers, 13-11, on May 13, two days after delivering a similar blow to No. 2 seed Santa Clara. The Blue Hens had registered just one victory in five previous national tournament appearances, but claimed four wins in four days to win the 2017 title.

Kirstin Lockwood is co-president of the team which also includes locally connected players Lexi Woodruff, Sarah Tappan, Elizabeth Lockwood and Kiva Walsh.

Players organize practices and travel and cover their own expenses.
