Facilities
MCCUSKER SPORTS COMPLEX
McCusker Sports Complex is the home of the
baseball, softball, soccer and tennis teams at
Lynn University and has been the host of
Sunshine State Conference and NCAA
Regional tournaments.
Baseball: The baseball field is located on the
southeast corner of campus, sharing a border
with Military Trail and Potomac Boulevard.
Long home runs can be seen crossing midday
traffic. The baseball team has strung
together three consecutive 30-win seasons
under skipper Rudy Garbalosa, just the
second time this has happened in program
history.
Softball: The softball field is located adjacent
to the baseball field and share outfield
bleachers. This field saw a program record
88 home runs sail over its fences in 2005,
which are 190 down the lines and 220 to
straightaway center field. The softball field
received a face lift in 2006 with the possibility
of a new stadium in the near future.
Soccer: The men’s and women’s soccer
team call this place home, which is located
on the southwest corner of the Lynn
University campus. The soccer field hosted
the 2003 Sunshine State Conference
semifinals and finals as well as the 2006
quarterfinals round of the NCAA Division II
National Tournament. Six national
championship teams have played on the
soccer field formerly known as “the
graveyard.”
Tennis: Both men’s and women’s tennis
teams host their events on the complex’s six
tennis courts. Both the men’s and women’s
tennis teams hosted the NCAA South
Regional tournament in 2005, 2006 and
2007, the first time in program history that
occurred. The women’s tennis team has won
six national championships while the men’s
program celebrated its first national crown in
2007. These two programs have combined
for 10 Sunshine State Conference
Championships as Lynn also became the first
school in conference history to hold back-toback
titles on both the men’s and women’s
side simultaneously.
