Brad Bauer, who also majored in Business Administration at Limestone, was a member of Limestone鈥檚 NCAA Division II National Championship squads in both 2000 and 2002. Both of those teams have since been inducted into the Limestone Athletics Hall of Fame. Brad and his brother Brian helped guide the Saints to the program鈥檚 first Deep South Regular Season and Tournament Championship sweep in 1999. He, too, has generously supported Limestone academics and athletics and the University鈥檚 endowed scholarship program.

鈥淏oth Brian and Brad helped transform Limestone鈥檚 lacrosse program into a powerhouse in the south and on a national level, and they have been dedicated to generously giving back to their alma mater,鈥� said Kelly Curtis, Limestone鈥檚 Vice President for Institutional Advancement. 鈥淲e are proud that the Bauer family鈥檚 name will forever be associated with Limestone, its lacrosse program, and Saints Field.鈥�
