Mount Washington Lacrosse Club

The Mount Washington Club was founded in 1904, named for the affluent suburb of Baltimore City in which it is located. In 1906, the club abandoned other sports in order to concentrate on lacrosse. During the 1960s, college lacrosse was dominated by the Naval Academy, which won eight consecutive USILA championships during the decade. From 1960 to 1966, Mount Washington accounted for three of Navy's six losses. In 1962, Mount Washington played a televised box lacrosse competition against a Washington, D.C. club. In sudden death overtime, the referee inadvertently resumed the game during a television timeout. Mount Washington scored to win the game, but a television official demanded a restart for the cameras, arguing that the box lacrosse league had been established in order to be televised. Despite the club's protests, the officiating staff complied, and Mount Washington scored to win the game a second time. In the early 1970s, Mount Washington was displaced as perennial club champions by the Long Island Athletic Club (now the Hofstra Lacrosse Club), but returned to win three consecutive USCLA titles from 1975 to 1977. In 2017, Bryn Mawr sold Norris Field to Coppermine Recreational Facilities. ==Players==
