The University of Dallas women's lacrosse team finishes up a three-game home stretch on Wednesday, March 13, at 3 p.m. when Cornell College visits. The Crusaders (3-4) are coming off an 18-10 victory over N.C. Wesleyan College. Lexi Leite (Houston, Texas) registered eight goals for a career-high in a match, and the Crusaders ended a four-game slide thanks to a 10-goal second half.
