DANVILLE, Ky. – Coming off of a tough string of games the last couple weeks, the Centre women's lacrosse team (2-4) hosted the Oberlin Yeos for a cold contest on Sunday. The back-and-forth match came down the very end and even needed extra time, the Colonels winning the sudden-death match against Oberlin for a final score of 18-17.
