*Division II ^Division III

Hobart has captured 16 national championships, including two NCAA Division II championships and 13 NCAA Division III championships.[4] The athletics program elevated its team to NCAA Division I in 1995 to preserve its historic lacrosse rivalries with Cornell and Syracuse. Despite an effort to reclassify the Statesmen back to Division III in 2008 by the college’s Board of Trustees, a strong response from Hobart’s alumni base prevented the change and kept the program in Division I.[5]

In 2014, Hobart joined the Northeast Conference as an associate member in men’s lacrosse, increasing the conference’s membership to 7 teams.[6] Since their arrival in the conference, the Statesmen have won league tournament and regular season championships in 2016 and 2017 respectively, making their fifth NCAA tournament appearance at the Division I level in 2016.[7]
