ABSTRACT

The purpose of this experiment was to find out the

percent of home games won compared to the percent of

away games won between the men's and women's divisions

I-III lacrosse teams. The way one would go about doing this

was simply going oneach colleges web site and searching

for their 98-99 season results. Then that person would print

out the results and find the average amount of home games

won and the average of away games won. After this that

person would graph them. In doing this they would find

that 78% of the men's DI-DIII home games were won and

65% of their away games were won. 59% of the women's

DI-DIII home games were won and 58% of their away

games were won. That proves that the hypothesis was

correct in saying that the home field advantage is true

among college lacrosse.
