LSSU  Lake Superior State University will be reducing the number of athletic programs from 15 to 14 with the elimination of women’s softball effective the end of this current academic year.  That decision was made after an intensive review of the University’s long-term structural deficit by a committee of University administrators.  The University will continue to honour current athletics financial aid agreements and scholarships for up to a total of four years for members of the softball team who wish to continue their education at LSSU.
