Agnes Scott and LaGrange Join USA South As Lacrosse-Only Members

(FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.) - The USA South Athletic Conference is set to welcome two new members from the state of Georgia. Agnes Scott College, located in Decatur, and LaGrange College will join the Conference as women's lacrosse-only members this coming academic season. With these two additions, along with current member N.C. Wesleyan's reinstatement of the sport, the amount of USA South institutions participating in women's lacrosse will increase to eight for the 2010 season.
