PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - The Big East conference is forming a new
men's lacrosse league.

The league will start competition in the spring of 2010 and will
include Syracuse, Providence, Rutgers, St. John's, Villanona, Notre
Dame and Georgetown.

Each school will play each other once.

The conference's 16 athletic directors unanimously approved the
new lacrosse league during recent meetings. The conference will
apply for an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

Syracuse, which won its 10th NCAA title last mont
h, had played as an independent, while the other schools were scattered in other leagues.
