The #19 ranked LACROSSE Buffs (5-2) are back home as they start their Pac 12 season facing off against always one of their main conference nemeses (along with USC) as they host the Stanford Cardinal (4-2) this Friday afternoon. Then, next Saturday (3/23), they head to the Bay Area to face the Cal Bears (3-5).
(With the conference teams only facing each once this season (vs. home and homes in previous seasons), looks like there's only one conference game planned per week or so this season. The Buffs (and I assume all the conference teams?) are filling in the schedule with non-conference games interspersed, specifically games against ranked DU (4/3) and Kent State (4/14) still on the team's docket.)
As usual the Trees, although not ranked, look to be TOUGH competition. They started the season losing 2 road games by 1 goal (at #17 Virginia and Yale), after which they've won their next 4 games EASILY (each by at LEAST 9 goals).
Both games are slotted to be viewable via free live streams provided by the home schools. (Further info and links for media options available near the bottom of this thread.)
Note - Although the 1st official RPI ratings haven't been released yet, I did find an (I assume) unofficial website (https://pro.lacrossereference.com/rpi-d1-women?t=epxlwifospeivmd ) that looks to be attempting to calculate RPI's based on games to date (updated through 3/12). (No idea how accurate they might be.) Per that, the Buffs are #29, while Stanford is #9 and Cal #95. (Unlike other major team sports, there are quite a few less teams (127 this season) competing in D1 women's lacrosse.)
Go Buffs!!!
