2016 ENDICOTT WOMEN'S LACROSSE SCHEDULE
BEVERLY, Mass. – The Endicott women's lacrosse team has announced its 2016 schedule, which will feature a tough non-conference slate that includes four games against teams who reached the NCAA Tournament last season.

Other key matchups to watch throughout the season include Trinity, who lost in the NCAA title game last season, Bowdoin, and Western New England.
