Colby's lacrosse teams had outstanding seasons, with both the men and women advancing to the NESCAC championship final four at Middlebury. The men made it to the final game by upsetting higher-seeded Bowdoin 10-7 in the semifinals. For the championship, against two-time defending NCAA Division III champion Middlebury, the Mules stayed almost even in the first half but lost 14-8. Rob Quinn, in his first year at Colby, was named NESCAC Coach of the Year after the 11-5 season.

In the women's tournament Colby drew the defending national champion Middlebury team in the semifinals. Despite strong play the Mules never recovered from an early Panthers' onslaught and lost 20-9 but ended the season with a 10-4 record.

Seniors John Shea, Gabe Duncan-Roitman and Marcia Ingraham were all named first-team all-NESCAC picks. Barron Butler '03 and Ben Winston '03 were second-team NESCAC for the men as was Whitney Pearce '02 for the women.
