Harford County Welcomes 2023 NJCAA Men's Lacrosse National Championship

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — Harford Community College, in conjunction with the National Junior College Athletic Association and Region 20, will host the 2023 NJCAA Men's Lacrosse National Championship May 12-14 at Harford’s Sports Complex on the college’s campus at 401 Thomas Run Road in Bel Air.

Region 20 members include Anne Arundel Community College, Carroll Community College,
Community College of Baltimore County Essex, Harford Community College and
Howard Community College. The tournament has been held in Maryland 15 times since its
inception in 1970, most recently in 2015 at CCBC Essex. The past two national championships
have been held in Garden City, New York, home of the two-time reigning national champions,
Nassau Community College.

The three-day event is expected to welcome more than 1,200 visitors to the Harford Community
College campus. The economic impact of the event has been estimated at upwards of $125,000 with the potential for multiple teams traveling to Bel Air from outside the state. Harford has made
several updates to its facilities in preparation for the championship, including a new stadium
press box, scoreboard and other renovations to the complex.

On the first day of the tournament, May 12, there will be a banquet honoring the four teams participating as well as the 2023 USA Lacrosse Coaches Association Hall of Fame Inductees. Day two will showcase the semi-final contests between the #2 and #3 seeds and the #1 and #4 seeds. Day three is reserved for the National Championship game and awards ceremony to be held
immediately after.

Fans hoping to catch the action can purchase entry for $10 per day. Ticket sales will be offered
in advance and at the gate. The NJCAA will also provide a live stream of each contest with
access available for purchase.
