LYCOMING WOMEN’S LACROSSE SUFFERS CONFERENCE LOSS AT SUSQUEHANNA

WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College women’s lacrosse team traveled to Susquehanna University, Thursday afternoon, for an important conference contest as the season draws to a close.

Susquehanna improved to 8-2 and 5-0.

The Crusaders raced out to a 5-0 advantage before the Warriors responded with three goals of their own to close with two, but that would be as close as Lycoming would get. Susquehanna led 6-3 at the half and outscored the Warriors 10-4 in the second period.
