Conference and Schedule

Lale Superior plays in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (www.gliac.org), the premier D2 conference in the midwest. The GLIAC is comprised of 13 schools from Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The conference is divided into two divisions, north and south. LSSU plays in the north. LSSU will play each team in the north division twice, and once in the south. Conference play can start in early December but the schedule includes non-conference opponents until January. Conference games are usually played on Thursdays and Saturdays and are often piggybacked with the men's. The season concludes with the GLIAC conference which takes the top four teams from each division with crossover play starting in the semi-finals. The winner receives an automatic NCAA berth.
