BOULDER — For the second straight season, University of Colorado head lacrosse coach Ann Elliott has been named the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) West/Midwest Region Coach of the Year.
CU finished the campaign with a 14-6 record and won the inaugural Pac-12 Conference regular season title after totaling a 9-1 record in conference play. The Buffs earned their second straight trip to the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the second round after defeating Jacksonville for their first ever NCAA Tournament win.
The Pac-12 Coach of the Year helped her team rally after a difficult start to the season. The Buffs lost a teammate, Julia Sarcona, who died in a single car accident prior to the start of the season in January. CU recorded a 1-2 record in its first three games and came back to win the following six of the next seven contests to earn a 7-3 mark halfway through the season.
CU earned top 15 rankings in all three polls this season after losing its inaugural class which contained several top players, including its four-year starting goalkeeper. The Buffs showed they were reloaded as their offense averaged 14.00 goals per game, which was 26th in the NCAA. Defensively CU allowed 9.90 goals per game and recorded a 0.482 save percentage (both 17th in the NCAA). The Buffs also had a scoring margin of +4.10 (19th in the NCAA).
Three Buffs, Sarah Brown, Darby Kiernan and Julia Lisella were selected IWLCA All-Americans at the end of the season. Lisella was named the IWLCA Goalkeeper of the Year and joined Brown on the All-America first team, while Kiernan was a second team selection.

RG said that isn't his priority right now.has there been any movement toward adding any more sports? women's or mens? like actual progress? any insiders know?
the business man in me understands that you need to harden the core and stay focused on the rev generator, and then, once that's done, go into expansion mode that's paid for by said cash cow. the fan in me wants additional compelling options to watch.RG said that isn't his priority right now.
Heck, I'd heard that he was majorly pissed off that he inherited the new WLAX addition because Bohn pushed it through despite being entirely unfunded and he had to figure out how to make it work while still making the things happen that were the primary parts of his vision with football revenue & competitiveness.
At this point, I think his focus will be on infrastructure/organizational enhancements, fundraising for the AD endowment, and then looking toward Folsom/CED projects along with building permanent facilities for field sports.
Exactly. As a fan, I want my damn monorail connecting all of CU's world class venues that offer every NCAA sport like it was ready to host the next Olympics (both summer and winter). But I suspect it's not reasonable for this vision of mine to be in RG's 5 year plan.the business man in me understands that you need to harden the core and stay focused on the rev generator, and then, once that's done, go into expansion mode that's paid for by said cash cow. the fan in me wants additional compelling options to watch.
She got a multi-year contract, right?
