CHESTERTOWN, Md. – The Washington College women's lacrosse team opened up Centennial Conference play in style with a 15-9 home-win over Ursinus. The Shorewomen gave up the first goal of the game but went on to score seven of the next eight to build a four-goal cushion at the break. The margin was pushed to six in the third and that is where it would finish on a rainy day at Kibler Field.
