LaSalle has to be one of many schools facing immense financial pressures - in this attached article it did surprise me that they maintained 25 teams and so I suppose these cuts are not unexpected. 4 men's and 3 women's cuts:
baseball; men's swimming and diving; men's tennis; men's water polo; softball; volleyball; and women's tennis.

LaSalle has been struggling for years with its finances. It faced a lot of heat in Philly a few years ago when it was considering selling off several art works from its museum to raise funds. The school is not in a great neighborhood and it has to compete with many other nearby colleges, several of which are also Catholic. Furthermore, it has been very much negatively impacted by the closing of so many Catholic high schools in greater Philadelphia as they used to provide a feeder system.
