The Oklahoma State Lacrosse program is entering its first season under new president Brady Friend. Last season, the Pokes finished third in the Lone Star Alliance, losing to the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin Cajuns in the semifinals of the LSA Tournament. Moreover, first-year head coach Dustin Bunch looks to lead the program in a new direction, hoping to jump-start the program to win their second conference championship in the last three seasons.
OK State was picked to finish third in the conference in 2017, behind only UT Dallas and ULL. The Baylor Bears came in fourth in Division II.
