The Lancaster Bible College women's lacrosse team will open the 16
th season in program history on Saturday afternoon, as the Chargers welcome Wesley to the Donald H. Funk Field.
Â
Saturday's game will be 367 days after the Chargers played their last game of 2020, as the COVID-19 Pandemic ended Lancaster Bible's season after four games. Though the Chargers went 0-4 last season, the team had played better in each of its contests, and was preparing to a difficult team to play in North Eastern Athletic Conference play.
Â
Fast-forward a year, and the Chargers look different than a season ago, but do feature many returners to go with a good crop of young players. Leading scorers
Kendal Ream and
Camryn Horst return from a season ago, and the defense will feature freshman goalie
Alexis Garrett who had solid success at the high school level.
Â
One thing missing from the 2021 season so far is a conference schedule. The NEAC was set to release the schedule this week, but a late determination from Hilbert about canceling its season through a wrench into the process, and the schedule will now be released as soon as possible. For now, the Chargers will begin with two non-conference contests, the first of which is Saturday against the Wolverines.
