DANVILLE, Ky. – The Centre women's lacrosse team (6-6, 2-2 SAA) came back in action from the spring break season on Saturday, hosting the Rhodes Lynx (10-3, 4-0 SAA) on South Turf Field. The Colonels battled hard against the reigning conference champions, but the slow start halted the Gold and White in the 23-7 loss.
