SAVANNAH, Ga. - Today, SCAD is proud to announce the transformative next step for two of the university's most accomplished sports. A new, state-of-the-art SCAD Athletic Complex dedicated to SCAD's lacrosse and soccer teams will help our artist-athletes to continue competing at the highest level, elevate our athletics programs, and contribute to the overall growth and success of our university. 

The SCAD lacrosse and soccer teams are among the most decorated at SCAD, earning consistent top 20 rankings and challenging for conference and NAIA national titles.  

The SCAD women's lacrosse team is one of the most successful in the NAIA, with frequent top- five rankings and six national championships in its history, while the SCAD men's lacrosse experienced a resurgent 2024 campaign and achieved its first full winning season since 2019. Additionally, SCAD co-hosted the NAIA Men's and Women's Lacrosse National Championship for the second time in 2024 at Savannah's Memorial Stadium.  

On the pitch, SCAD men's soccer set seven team records in their fall 2023 season. The SCAD women's team rose to No. 5 in the NAIA rankings, its highest mark ever, and won The Sun Conference regular season and tournament titles for the first time in program history. As the top seed for the conference tournament and the No. 7 national seed in NAIA Tournament play, SCAD also hosted multiple tournament games at the university's athletic field. 

In addition to these team accolades, SCAD artist-athletes frequently receive conference and national honors. Each team has also had multiple NAIA All-Americans and NAIA Daktronics Scholar-Athlete Honors, reflecting their success on the playing field and in the classroom. These accomplishments underscore SCAD's dedication to excellence in both academics and athletics, demonstrating the caliber of talent and commitment within the SCAD community. 

The new SCAD Athletic Complex will bring state-of-the-art locker rooms and an athletic training space to the university's existing sports fields north of Savannah. Beyond the immediate benefits to our athletes, these new facilities will magnify the university's ability to host conference and national tournaments, showcasing the prowess of our athletics teams and bringing national attention to SCAD and the Savannah region. In addition to enhancing our teams' competitive edge, these improvements will significantly raise our recruitment efforts. The facility will serve as a beacon for prospective student-athletes, illustrating our commitment to providing the highest quality resources for their athletic and academic pursuits.
