Santa Barbara, CA - The SBCC women's lacrosse club couldn't be stopped on the field during the regular season in Spring 2023.  The Vaqueros went undefeated in conference play before eventually finishing 12-3 overall. Appearances in the WWLL semifinals and the WCLA National Tournament were other highlights of the season. Ultimately, though, administration slowed down the club in 2024. 

The SBCC women's lacrosse program started in 2007-08 and almost every year since then women at the college have formed a team and shown they want to play lacrosse. The exception is the Covid-19 year all of athletics at the community college level paused. The restart in 2021-22 was stymied by holdups with administration but then the team had the previously mentioned breakout year in 2022-23. At the same time the WWLL reported on the surging interest in the sport at the community college level in California Community College Lacrosse Taking Off.

The women's lacrosse club leadership renewed their charter with the Office Of Student Life in the fall but could not get an answer on a field space request in time for players to schedule classes around practice. Momentum from the banner spring season stalled without help from the SBCC Administration. Vaqueros who didn't coincidentally have practice time slots free from their class obligations trailed away. Ironically, the men's lacrosse club was awarded the same time slots for their practices this year the women's club had used last year and requested this year.

Santa Barbara, CA - Following the Spring 2023 season seven Vaqueros successfully transfered to four year schools and another lacrosse alumnae is off on her career path already after three years at SBCC in the Cosmetology Program. The Unviersity of California system proved the most ppopular. UCSB benefits the most with five new Gauchos, UC Davis gets one to be an Aggie and one will become a Triton at UCSD. 

With SBCC about to start classes on August 28th and the college still accepting admission applications it's a great illustration for prospective students to see what they can do at SBCC, where they can go afterward and what they can do afterward too.

"I'm extremely proud of our eight graduates who came here, got their work done and successfully applied and are moving on," says interim head coach Paul Ramsey.  "It's the nature of a two-year school program to miss them sooner and more often than perhaps a coach at a four-year school so it's new territory for me."
