The Keuka women’s lacrosse suffered its second straight loss to begin its 2010 season as they fell by a score of 10-9 on the road at Marywood University on Sunday. Marywood improves to 6-2 on the season.
The Storm struggled in the opening half for a second consecutive game as they trailed 8-3 at the half.
