The Centre women's lacrosse team fell 16-7 to defending Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference champion Sewanee in a conference semifinal game Saturday at Sewanee, Tenn.
The loss brings the season to an end for the Colonels, who wrap up the year with a 13-5 overall record after finishing tied for first place in regular season SCAC play at 4-1.
