One of the most successful programs at any level of collegiate athletics, Limestone College lacrosse began its legacy in Gaffney, South Carolina, in 1990 and has since built a tradition and reputation unique to all others. The four-time NCAA Division II National Champions paved the way for the sport of lacrosse in the state of South Carolina, as well as much of the southern United States. The first southern program in the sport's history, Limestone quickly fought off the stigma that it would not be able to compete, becoming a top contender even in the program's infancy. Just 10 years after its inaugural season, the Saints broke through with the most coveted prize of all--a national championship. Since then, Limestone has added three more crowns and has appeared in the championship round 10 times. While the popularity of lacrosse continues to grow in South Carolina and the surrounding area, so too does Limestone's lore. The Saints continue to push forward and will forever remain innovators of the sport's heritage.

Reviews
"A pictorial that chronicles the history of Limestone men's lacrosse, the publication features over 150 images that detail the program from its very beginning. Players, coaches, and fans are shown throughout the publication that shines a spotlight on one of the South's most revered and storied lacrosse programs." Spartanburg Herald-Journal
"In the past 25 years, Limestone has become home to one of the most dominant men's lacrosse programs in the nation. That journey, which includes four NCAA Division II national championships and 10 title game appearances, is highlighted in a new 96-page book entitled "25 Years of Limestone College Men's Lacrosse."" Goupstate.com
"In the heart of the South, where football was king, the College was bringing on a sport largely played in the Northeast," said Limestone President Dr. Walt Griffin, who penned the book's introduction. "The first college lacrosse team in the state of South Carolina was going to reside in Cherokee County and many wondered why. But we knew for the College's enrollment numbers to move upward, intercollegiate athletics was going to be the answer. And lacrosse would start the reawakening for Saints athletics and Limestone as a whole." Limestone.edu
