WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Lycoming College women’s lacrosse team hosted Drew University, Sunday afternoon, in their third consecutive Middle Atlantic Conference game. The Warriors struggled offensively against the Rangers, falling 9-2. The game was stopped with 9:59 left on the clock due to unsafe field conditions.
