LEWISTON, N.Y. -- Niagara women's lacrosse team will forfeit one game as part of a university-imposed punishment announced Friday after officials learned of the team holding a hazing party.

Athletic director Mike Hermann said the school canceled the team's Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game against Fairfield on Saturday. As well, each player will have to complete 20 hours of community service this semester and take part in an alcohol and hazing education program in the fall semester.

The sanctions come after the school learned of the team holding, what it called, "an initiation party that included alcohol use and other inappropriate activities." It's not clear when the party was held but Hermann said that no one was hurt.
