For over four years in a row the PLU Women's Lacrosse team has been in the top four teams in the league out of over 12 teams each year, being the only Division 3 team to compete with Division 1 power-houses such as Boise State University, Univeristy of Oregon, University of Washington, and Western Washington University.
