Morgan State Bears lacrosse

The Morgan State Bears lacrosse team is the collegiate sports team representing Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. Upon its founding in 1970, it was the only lacrosse team established to play NCAA-level lacrosse at a historically black institution.^[1]

In its early years, team defeated schools like Harvard and Notre Dame and upset a #1 ranked team in 1975. The team's exploits are recounted in the book Ten Bears, and the story is in production for a major motion picture. The program was later shut down, though a club team was created in the 21st century and a new intercollegiate team at the school won the NCL championship in 2023.
