Back in the 1970s when the team was first founded, the University of South Carolina would not let us call ourselves USC lacrosse, Gamecock Lacrosse, or even South Carolina Lacrosse. We were not allowed any connection in name to the school. In protest, some of the seniors named the team Yazoo Lacrosse. The name Yazoo came from a local Columbia, SC Lawnmower company, and the name stuck. The team wore it on their jerseys for a few years, until we were allowed to be affiliated with the University. The University even donated old football jerseys to help out the program.
