THE LEAD VS. THE PIRATES
The University of Dallas women's lacrosse team plays its second home match of the season on Saturday versus fellow Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) member, Southwestern University. The match is slated to begin at 4 p.m. The match does not count toward the traditional seeding of conference tournament since there are no countable league games. All four teams will qualify for the SCAC Tournament in Georgetown, Texas, on April 25-26.
