The NCL officially welcomes back the Delaware State Men’s Lacrosse Team. Delaware State has been arguably the most successful program of the original 7 founding teams. This thanks two them winning two championships and appearing in each of the first 4 NCL Men’s Championship Games. The 2025 season saw the Hornets go 5-2 finishing 2nd in the NLC standings behind only Morgan State. It also saw them claim their 2nd NCL Men’s Championship defeating worthy adversary Bowie State in a tightly contested affair.

The Hornets this coming 2026 campaign return familiar stalwarts like Jason Carter-Anderson and Jeff Franklin to the fold. While being set to introduce NCL fans to new talents like Ryan Allen and Holden Steward. Led by 2nd year head coach and former program star player Julian Dixon for a 2nd straight season a repeat is definitely on the table for Del State.
