UMW Women's Lax to Face Catholic in NCAA Tournament

The University of Mary Washington Women's lacrosse team joins the Men's and Women's tennis teams as the three UMW squads to advance to NCAA tournament play.

Coach Dana Hall's squad finished the regular season 13-7, and received an at-large bid to NCAA's after falling 18-6 to Salisbury in the CAC Championship last month.

Today's 4 p.m. start vs. Catholic will be the Eagles' first action since the above-mentioned championship, making for a lengthy nineteen-day layoff. Back on March 28, Catholic visited the Battleground in what was a fiercy-contested affair. The Cardinals escaped with an 12-8 victory that day,

UMW will look to rely on the offensive prowess of Katherine Kennedy and Lauren Callison, who have combined for 140 goals so far this season.

Check back to Fredericksburg Patch for a game report later tonight.
