Click here for other gift instructions.

With an eye to future enrollment, and in the spirit of the Tradition of Excellence in Forester Athletics, men’s and women’s lacrosse were added to the College’s slate of varsity programming and will begin competition in 2021–22.

Phase I of adding Forester Lacrosse included the creation of Mohr Field, a synthetic grass field, named in honor of Jean ’52 and Frank Mohr ’52, and the hiring of new head coaches Phil Dodson and Maggie Zentgraf. Mohr Field will serve as a competition and practice venue for lacrosse, softball, and soccer. The 122,000-square-foot turf project was completed in October of 2020. Click here to read the formal press release.

Phase II includes the addition of essential equipment for Mohr Field and the creation of new locker rooms for lacrosse, along with related enhancements for the soccer and football locker rooms. Each space will include sport-specific wood lockers, updated restrooms, showers, and storage. The goal for completion of Phase II is August 2021 and only $1.5 million remains to be raised to fully fund this vital project.
