The Aurora University women's lacrosse team was back in action on Saturday afternoon at Marian University for their last regular season match up of the 2024 season, with the Spartans looking to finish a perfect 6-0 in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference play this season. AU did just that with another 17-goal game on Saturday, including from five from Danielle Cobbett, as the Spartans hold the number one seed going into next week's conference tournament and secure the regular season NACC crown.
