SWEET BRIAR, Va. – Sweet Briar lacrosse (5-4, 2-1 CSAC) picked up its second Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) win today as the team took down the Centenary Cyclones (1-3, 0-2) by a score of 12-6.
 
After a first quarter that saw the Vixens take the 2-0 lead thanks to goals from junior Kaylah Bailey (Virginia Beach, Va.) and first-year Valen Foster (Bushwood, Md.), Sweet Briar picked up the pace with a four-goal second quarter.
