The William Smith College lacrosse team will host Bard and Vassar in its final weekend of regular season play. The Herons sit in first place in the Liberty League and enter the weekend with a 6-1 conference record and a 7-7 overall mark.
 
William Smith will face Bard (4-10, 0-7) on Friday at 4 p.m. and then host Vassar (6-7, 2-5) on Saturday at 3 p.m. on Boswell Field. The Herons have secured a spot in the four-team conference tournament, but they could still be any one of the four seeds. William Smith controls its destiny. If the Herons win both of their games this weekend, regardless of what happens elsewhere in the league, they will be the No. 1 seed.

Senior Geneva Calder has won a team-high 24 draws, and sophomore Kelsi Carr leads William Smith with 17 caused turnovers. Junior goalie Sarah Honan has played the majority of minutes. She's sporting a 7.27 goals against average, a .492 save percentage and a 7-7 record. Honan has scooped up a team-high 29 ground balls.
 
Bard is coming off a loss at RIT last Saturday. Nicole Ellin leads the Raptors with 25 goals, 31 points, and 44 draws.

She has a 13.57 goals against average and a .360 save percentage.
