In 1985 the team was coached under Lee Ann Wagner, who was assisted by Carol Cox.  The Team was: Natalie Gall, Johanna Gravesen, Laurie Smith, Michele Stambaugh, Melanie Tratnick, Erica Budd, Amy Causing, Jean Frost, Kathleen Shehan, Virtue Vaughan, Ann Boehmcker, Barbra Stauch, Lisa Lowenthal (MVP), and Carolyn Aspen.

Men's lacrosse at Dickinson College began in 1950 but the first year that the college fielded a women's varsity team was 1977.  For more information on the origins of lacrosse see Men's Lacrosse 1950.
