BOULDER — The University of Colorado lacrosse team will start the 2019 season off with a bang, hosting the sixth-ranked Florida Gators on Saturday, February 9, at 12 p.m. at Kittredge Field.
The Buffaloes are currently ranked 17th in the IWLCA Poll and will look to avenge a pair of losses to the Gators from the 2018 season. CU faced UF twice in Gainesville, the second game of the season and in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and both times left with a loss. This will be the first time the two teams will face off in Boulder.
Colorado finished the 2018 season with a 14-6 mark and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, while Florida was 17-4 in 2018, and made the NCAA Quarterfinals. There the Gators fell to James Madison, 11-8. JMU went on to win the national championship.
The Buffs return eight of their 12 starters, which includes the 2018 IWLCA and Inside Lacrosse Goalkeeper of the Year, Julia Lisella. Miranda Stinson also returns for the Buffs and was CU's second leading score during the 2018 season. Both were named IL Preseason All-Americans.
UF also returns several starters including its goalkeeper, Haley Hicklen, and its leading scorer, Lindsey Ronbeck.
HOW TO WATCH: The game will be streamed on CUBuffs.com for free and live stats will also be available for free.
UP NEXT: The Buffs will head out on the road to take on its second straight top-15 opponent in Virginia Tech. CU will face the Hokies on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 11 a.m. in Blacksburg, Va. The two teams have only met once; that meeting happened on March 4, 2018, in Boulder. CU won the contest 18-3.
HOME GAME INFORMATION: All of Colorado's home games will be played at Kittredge Field and admission is free, as is parking in Lot 416. Overflow parking is available in the RG lot on the north side of the CU Events Center.
