Bridgeport Moves To 2-0 In CACC Women's Lacrosse Play With Road Victory Over Alliance

Jersey City, N.J.-The University of Bridgeport women's lacrosse team moved to 2-0 in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference play and evened its overall season record at 3-3 cruising to a 18-2 road win over Alliance University on Wednesday afternoon in New Jersey.  With the loss, Alliance remains winless so far in 2023 at 0-7, and they are 0-1 in conference action.
