The (RV) lacrosse team (3-0,, 0-0 in the Pac 12) are scheduled to continue their season with their last 2 games before conference play starts, both scheduled for Kittredge Field. They begin by hosting the Vanderbilt Commodores (3-0 overall, 0-0 in the AAC) tomorrow, and follow up by playing old MPSF conference opponent UC- Davis (2-0) on Sunday.
With their ranking (I assume mainly earned so far by their beating then #12 Notre Dame a couple weeks ago), the Commodores look be the Buffs toughest opponent so far this season.
Both games are scheduled to have live streaming coverage. (Link available below.)
