SWARTHMORE, Pa. – The Swarthmore College women's lacrosse team ended its season with a 9-7 loss to No. 23 Haverford College on Saturday. The Garnet conclude the year with an 8-7 record.
 
The teams were even at three in the second quarter when the Fords used a 4-0 run to take a 7-3 advantage at halftime. Swarthmore cut the deficit to one (7-6) heading into the fourth but Haverford won the quarter, 2-1, to hold on for the victory.
