The ɬ﷬ַ announced Gilman Gear as the official goal supplier for all ɬ﷬ַ lacrosse championships through the 2027 season. This ensures that ɬ﷬ַ lacrosse student-athletes will compete with the highest-quality game goals, reinforcing the ɬ﷬ַ’s commitment to excellence in collegiate athletics.

This agreement ensures that ɬ﷬ַ lacrosse championships will have the highest standards of competition and provide an optimal playing experience for teams and officials at every championship event.”

Neil Gilman, president of Gilman Gear, said, “Gilman Gear is proud to partner with the ɬ﷬ַ for this prestigious event crowning the champions of both the men’s and women’s college lacrosse teams across all three divisions of the sport.

“It is altogether fitting and proper that the Gilman Goal be used in the ɬ﷬ַ championships because it met all the criteria set by the ɬ﷬ַ selection committee, and our mission is to grow and advance the sport of college lacrosse, and we believe that our agreement to supply lacrosse goals to the ɬ﷬ַ championships will add the highest level of professionalism to these prestigious events.”
