Every season there are a handful of weekends that feel like a mini NCAA tournament preview, and the 2026 Callum Robinson Mustang Classic is exactly that. Taking place March 13–14 at Stevenson University’s Mustang Stadium in Owings Mills, Maryland, the two-day event once again brings together many of the top programs in DeeThreeLax for a slate of elite early-season matchups. We will see 10 games over 2 days.

The tournament was renamed the Callum Robinson Mustang Classic in honor of former Stevenson standout Callum Robinson, a national champion, USILA First Team All-American, and one of the most impactful players in program history.

Robinson was part of Stevenson’s 2013 national championship team and later went on to play professionally in the Major League Lacrosse draft.

The event now serves as both a premier lacrosse showcase and a tribute to a player who embodied the spirit of DeeThreeLax. 

The 2026 field is loaded with nationally ranked programs and recent championship contenders.

• No. 1 Tufts – The two-time defending DeeThreeLax national champions return after a perfect 23-0 season last year.
• No. 2 Christopher Newport – One of the hottest teams in the country and a perennial title contender.
• No. 5 Lynchburg – A program known for postseason runs and explosive offense.
• No. 13 Gettysburg – The Bullets continue to be a presence in the DeeThreeLax landscape.
• No. 9 Dickinson – Last season’s national runner-up looking to get back to the championship game.

They’re joined by a strong supporting cast including No. 25 Denison, No. 13 RIT, No. 14 St. Lawrence, No. 20 Washington & Lee, and host No.26 Stevenson, making the field one of the deepest in the event’s history.
