Adelphi's roster of champions

Adelphi is the only Division II women's lacrosse team with four NCAA championships. And the only one with two consecutive titles. Add six All-Americans to those achievements and there is only one conclusion:

Adelphi is a lacrosse dynasty.

And the program's vision looms larger. Coach Joe Spallina is in discussions with Northwestern, winner of five straight Division I titles, to play Adelphi on Long Island next fall in what could be an extraordinary pairing of national champions from different divisions.
