Contents

The Dukes had been conference members of the Colonial Athletic Association since the conference began sponsoring the sport in 1992. With JMU having moved most of its other sports to the Sun Belt Conference, which does not sponsor women's lacrosse, in July 2022, the Dukes joined the American Athletic Conference as an affiliate member at that time.
