POTSDAM, NY (April 28, 2012) – Despite being down 3-1 early, the Vassar College women's lacrosse team staged an impressive comeback to take a 5-4 lead and had the game tied 5-5 at halftime, but host Clarkson scored seven of the first eight goals in the second half and held on for a 13-10 Liberty League victory on Saturday afternoon in the season final for both teams.
