Lawrence has established itself as one of the finest programs in the nation over the past few seasons. Lawrence won three consecutive Midwest Conference championships from 2004-06 and played in the NCAA Division III Tournament all three of those seasons. Lawrence also earned a No. 1 national ranking in 2005-06. The Vikings' season begins in late October with the first practice and runs through the conference playoffs at the end of February. The Vikings play a 16-game conference schedule, and their nonconference slate features some of the top teams in the Midwest. The winner of the Midwest Conference Tournament automatically qualifies for the NCAA Division III Tournament.
