A number of these are members of Colleges That Change Lives (CTCL) association which is a group of smaller colleges that were originally recognized by a NY Times editor for the quality of their instruction and college experience while having moderate admissions rates, and that later formed an association to market themselves. (CTCL includes Clark, Hampshire, and Bard among some northeastern schools near you). For those that are, I included a link to the CTCL profile which is marketing information, but that I think still gives a pretty good sense of each school.

I have no idea about the strength of the lacrosse programs, but College Navigator (feds’ website) indicates that these have varsity women’s lacrosse.
