I think the 50% "burn rate" is probably the norm for most college sports - not just women's lacrosse. I played a D1 sport in college and about half of my freshman class didn't do much by graduation. College has a lot to offer other than sports.
You are correct. Looking at all collegiate sports the more physical the sport (football, hockey) the higher the "burn rate"; this can be attributed to injury (and possible academics, but that's for another thread). Want to guess the highest? Crew. It is a an anomaly however; there are far less teams so the sample size can get skewed. The lowest? Fencing.
