North Cross Raiders win third straight VISAA Division II lacrosse state title

Women comprised less than half the head coaching positions and just over half of the assistant coaching spots for women's college sports teams in the 2021-22 school year.

Many college football players with hopes of playing in the NFL have a narrower path to the league this year.

Salem, Va. The Division III Presidents Council has cancelled all fall sports championships, and the D-2 council quickly followed suit. The decision wipes out the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl that decides the Division III national champion in football,as well as volleyball, mens and womens soccer and cross country and mens water polo. Salem and the Roanoke Valley have been home to a number of D-3 title games in addition to the Stagg bowl in recent history. That list includes mens and womens basketball, wrestling, softball and lacrosse. Salem is scheduled to hold the division III womens basketball championship at the Cregger Center in March of 2021,and division III womens softball and lacrosse in 2021 and 2022 in Salem.
