Franklin & Marshall is a prestigious 4-year private co-education college located in Lancaster, Pensylvania. Their Division III women’s lacrosse team boasts 11 conference and two NCAA championships, one in 2007 and one in 2009. They started this year ranked #8 in the IWCLA poll and now after seven straight wins they look to keep their undefeated season and No. 1 ranking against one of the toughest teams in women’s college lacrosse, the Salisbury Seagulls.
