ATLANTA, GA The 2007 SouthEastern Lacrosse Conference annual fall meeting proved to be quite a monumental day for lacrosse in the southeast. As the sport continues to spread like wild fire, five new southeastern colleges were accepted by the SELC to compete in Division 2 of the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association. The five new teams consist of Coastal Carolina University, Georgia Southern University, High Point University, Palm Beach Atlantic University, and Tennessee Wesleyan College.

Liberty University rejoins the conference after taking last season off, but unfortunately the SELC did lose one program from last year. The Citadel Bulldogs will not be competing in the SELC or the MCLA this year.
