Lasell is a member of the NCAA (Division III), the Eastern College Athletic Association (ECAC), the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC), the North Atlantic Conference (NAC), the Pilgrim League, and the North West Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA).

Baseball became a varsity sport beginning with the 2009 season, and Track & Field will compete at the varsity level beginning next winter. Also a few weeks ago, Lasell introduced its new athletic mascot, Boomer the Torchbearer and LASER PRIDE, Lasell's new athletic website. Naturally, I'm wondering "what's next for Laser Athletics?"

Anyone that knows me is aware of my passion for Golf. I love to play the game, volunteer at local events (like the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston or the CVS Caremark Charity Classic down in Barrington, RI), and of course watch golf on TV.

Well, Spring is in the air here in New England, and today I was glued to my screen to watch the best golfer on the planet tee it up at the Masters. Of course watching Tiger got me thinking, with a half dozen beautiful golf courses practically within walking distance of campus and a number of GNAC competitor institutions fielding programs, could golf be Lasell's next varsity athletic program?

Stay tuned...
