Bartosz Shines In Hometown Return, Women's Lacrosse Wins

The Wells College women's lacrosse team opened the final weekend of the regular season with a 20-3 victory at Hilbert College on Friday, April 26 in a game played at Hamburg, New York. The Express was led by a hometown return performance from Renee Bartosz. The Wells senior, a native of Hamburg and graduate of Frontier High School, scored six goals and added two assists. Bartosz surpassed 100 career goals in the game.

The victory improved Wells' record to 7-5 on the season with a 5-3 record in the North Eastern Athletic Conference.
