The Buffaloes opened fall exhibition play against the Denver Pioneers, pulling within two goals on three separate occasions before falling 13-6. The Pioneers closed last season with an 18-3 record and a trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, notching perfect 8-0 marks in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation and on their home turf.
