BOSTON – The Boston University women's lacrosse (7-7, 2-4 PL) team is prepped to travel to Lehigh (8-5, 3-3 PL) Saturday (April 15) for the continuation of Patriot League play. Opening draw against the Mountain Hawks is set for 6 p.m.
 
This weekend, PL student-athletes, coaches and staff will wear specially-designed shirts for the league's ongoing mental health and well-being campaign. The decision to develop the warm-up shirts is based on a call to action from the Patriot League SAAC surrounding the efforts to destigmatize the conversation around mental health and well-being.
