The Denver Pioneers men's lacrosse team represents the University of Denver (DU) in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I college lacrosse. The DU men's lacrosse program was first introduced in 1966 as a club sport. The program alternated between varsity and club status until entering Division I in 1999.[2]
Since the 2014 season, the Pioneers have competed as an associate member of the Big East Conference. DU was initially a Big East member in men's lacrosse only,[3] but added women's lacrosse to its Big East membership in advance of the 2017 season.[4] Before DU's move to the Big East for the 2014 season, it had been a member of the Great Western Lacrosse League from 1998 to 2009 and then the ECAC Lacrosse League from 2010 to 2013.
Through 2015, Denver has an all-time varsity record of 272–203–1. In Division I alone, they are 173–95.[5][6] Denver plays its home games at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium, which has a capacity of 2,000 people.[7]
