Harford’s Fighting Owls men’s lacrosse team has attended the final four in the last three seasons. However, they have yet to claim the title of National Champions. The tournament has been held in Maryland 15 times since its inception in 1970, most recently in 2015 at CCBC Essex. The past two national championships have been held in Garden City, NY, home of the two-time reigning National Champions, Nassau Community College.
