For the second straight year, the UCLA women's lacrosse team has been selected for the US Lacrosse Women's Division Intercollegiate Associates (WDIA) National Championship Tournament, to be held in Denver, Colorado from May 7th-10th, 2008. Of the more than 150 WDIA teams in the country, only 16 are selected for the tournament. The Bruins are ranked 9th nationally and earned the 9th seed in the tournament. They will play 8th-seeded Lindenwood University in the first round. The US Lacrosse press release announcing the field can be found here.
