Club Background

When Lansing United was accepted into the National Premier Soccer League in Fall of 2013, ideas for names were solicited from the Greater Lansing community, and Lansing United was chosen.[3] The club motto is “Pride, Passion and Unity” and is reflected in the team's logo, with the star representing pride, the flame representing passion, and the gear representing unity. The club also uses the Latin phrase “Coniunctis Viribus” which means “With Connected Strength.”[4] The club produced its first-ever NWSL draftee at the 2020 NWSL Draft in University of Virginia center back and East Lansing native Zoe Morse who was taken in the second round by the Chicago Red Stars.
