History

Early history

Modern intercollegiate athletics at Lindenwood trace roots back to intracollegiate sports, gym classes, and recreational activities associated with the development of modern sports during in the late 1800s and early 1900s in the United States.[3][4] Lindenwood added obligatory physical education classes to its curriculum in the 1890s.[5] In 1905, the school's first athletic association was created to oversee sport and recreational activities on campus.[5] The athletic association sponsored popular sports and activities of the time period such as tennis, bowling, fencing, basketball, and walking clubs.[5] In the late 1940s Lindenwood's athletic teams began regular intercollegiate competition, sponsoring women's basketball, field hockey, and equestrian.[5]

NAIA era

After becoming a coeducational college in 1969, Lindenwood's modern athletic department formed. Baseball, basketball, and soccer became the college's first three men's sports in 1970; and Lindenwood became a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).[5] After the athletic programs became established Lindenwood's first athletic accomplishments came after more than a decade in the NAIA when the women's soccer team reached the 1986 NAIA Women's Soccer Championship. The program made 13 NAIA tournament appearances during the late 1980s through the 1990s; the run included three third-place finishes and second-place finishes.[5] The 2000 National Championship saw Lindenwood lose 0-1 to Simon Fraser in fifth overtime, after 162 minutes of play in one of the longest college soccer championship matches.[6] The university continued to expand athletics in the 1980s and by 1989 Lindenwood sponsored all 21 NAIA championship-sponsored sports.[5]

In the 1990s the university expanded athletic programs and added and upgraded facilities. Lindenwood joined its first conference in 1993 when the university became a member of the American Midwest Conference (AMC).[5] Three years later, Lindenwood joined the Heart of America Conference (HAAC).[5] From 1999 to 2010 the university continued to expanded athletic offerings and added 25 new sports that grew the athletic department to over 45 varsity sports teams, making LU one of the largest athletic departments in the United States in terms of sports offered.[7] Lindenwood University has been competing in NAIA athletics for nearly 40 years but has begun the application process for NCAA II membership.[7][8] Lindenwood officially concluded its NAIA and HAAC membership at the conclusion of the 2010-11 academic year.[9] During the university's 15 seasons a member of the HAAC the Lions set a conference record, winning 128 HAAC titles. Lindenwood averaged 8.5 conference titles a year and won at least one conference championship in sport sponsored by the conference.[9]

Move to NCAA

As, LU continued to upgrade and/or replace many of its sports facilities add new sports, and have teams consistently ranked in the top of the NAIA and other respective sport organizations for non-NAIA sports the interest in Lindenwood transitioning to the NCAA grew. In the early 2000s, the university explored options for at least a partial transition for several non-NAIA sports.[10]On February 12, 2009, the Lindenwood University Board of Directors authorized the administration to begin the application process for NCAA Division II membership. For two years, Lindenwood would remain a member of the NAIA and Heart of America Athletic Conference. In 2012-2013, the school would be a provisional member of the NCAA. The fourth year, 2013–2014, the NCAA would vote to make Lindenwood an active member.[11]

On July 12, 2010 Lindenwood was accepted into NCAA Division II.[12] Plans included moving all 21 sports that competed in NAIA to move to NCAA Division II along with the non-NAIA sports of field hockey, men’s lacrosse, and women’s lacrosse. Women’s ice hockey and men’s volleyball were selected by the university to compete in NCAA Division I, and all other sports would remain in their non-NCAA and non-NAIA sport organizations.[13] With expectation of NCAA approval in June 2010 LU applied to join the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA).[14] Lindenwood was approved for membership into the MIAA on September 24, 2010 with the affiliation taking place in 2012-2013 school year for all 17 MIAA-sponsored sports.[15][16] In addition men's volleyball joined the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA).[17] In June 2011, the Western Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (WILA) announced the addition of Lindenwood for men's and women's lacrosse.[18] Lindenwood was admitted into the conference on November 11, 2011 and began conference play starting in the 2012-13 season.[19] In July 2011, the university announced the addition of women's gymnastics as the 27th NCAA athletic program.[20] The university successfully completed the transition process in 2013 and begins active membership status in the NCAA in the 2013-14 acedmic year.[1]
