Suffolk Athletics is once again expanding, adding women’s lacrosse to its growing lineup of NCAA Division III varsity programs, starting in 2025.
“This increases opportunities for women in a college sport that is one of the fastest-growing in the nation,” says Suffolk Athletics Director Cary McConnell.
Head coach Carolynn Keal, previously an associate head coach at Oregon’s Willamette University, says, “I am excited to recruit the inaugural class and begin to grow the Ram lacrosse legacy as a competitive program.”

Over Labor Day weekend, Reid and fellow RA Turner Mitchell (center) and Nico Miele (right) spent close to 30 hours helping scores of new first-year students move into Suffolk’s residence halls, including Smith Hall on Tremont Street. And as RAM Supporters—students who serve as peer mentors for incoming undergrads, helping them get the hang of campus life—they also dispensed their best pro tips, like taking advantage of all the clubs and organizations Suffolk has to offer, says Miele. “These years of your life go by in a blink of an eye,” adds Reid. “Do everything you possibly can while you can.” Photograph by Michael J.
