  • The baseball program has produced multiple major leaguers.
  • LU’s new football program has heightened excitement on campus with sell-out crowds and students involved in marching band, cheerleading, the dance team and all the fun of game-day tailgating.
  • LU has recently added two new athletic programs for female athletes: soccer and softball.
