The Lancaster Bible College softball team not only has to head back to snowy Pennsylvania after being in Florida, but will have to do so after dropping its final two games of the trip on Thursday as the Chargers lost to Gordon, 5-2 and SUNY Geneseo, 12-0 in five innings. Lancaster Bible went 1-7 on the spring break trip and is now 3-9 overall this season. The Chargers are scheduled to play on Wednesday at home against Cedar Crest, but the snow from this past week will likely change those plans. Stay tuned to the website and the Lancaster Bible Athletics social media sites for updates.
