Midwest Cities Lacrosse Conference

The Midwest Cities Lacrosse Conference (MCLC) is a senior/post-collegiate men's field lacrosse league based in the Midwestern United States. The MCLC was founded in 1990 as a merger between the "City Division" of the Midwest Club Lacrosse Association and the three-year-old Midwest Club Championship invitational tournament.
