#21 LACROSSE Buffs (10-4 overall, 4-1 in the Pac 12) regular season is winding down, with only 2 games remaining, one on the road and one at home. 1st off is a BIG game that will determine who gets the #2 seed at the Pac 12 Tourney with the team in L.A. to face the /#22 ranked USC Trojans (10-4, 4-1) this Sunday afternoon. Then, the team is shooting for an all-time home attendance record as they host the Oregon Ducks (7-5, 1-4) in an evening game beginning at 6:00 PM MT next Friday (4/26) on their senior day at the soccer team's tome (Prentup) field.
(In addition to having to break USC's 5 game winning streak, the Buffs will also
Both games are slotted to be viewable on one or the other Pac 12 Network channel(s). (Further info and links for media options available near the bottom of this thread.)
Note - In the latest NCAA release for the RPI ratings (as of 4/18, https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/lacrosse-women/d1/ncaa-womens-lacrosse-rpi), CU is at #25, while USC is #23 and Oregon #71.
(As I mentioned in previous game threads, the lacrosse NCAA tournament is much smaller most other team sports, and there are only 14 at-large teams selected. Therefore, I'm GUESSING that if the Buffs want to have ANY chance to be one of those 13, they will need to win every remaining regular season game and get to the conference tournament final. This would mean they beat USC both this Sunday, and, likely, at the Pac 12 tourney***.. (Of course, the Pac 12 tourney will always give them a chance at earning the conference auto-bid if they win the whole thing.))
(***In addition to having to break a 5 game losing streak to the Trojans, the Buffs will have to beat the Trojans (probably TWICE) at the Coliseum, as the Trojans are also hosting the Pac 12 tourney this year.)
Go Buffs!!!

BOULDER — The No. 21 Colorado Buffaloes (10-4, 4-1 Pac-12) are set to face off against the No. 22 USC Trojans (10-4, 4-1 Pac-12) in Los Angeles this Sunday, April 21 at 1:00 p.m. MDT. The winner of this game will be at least the No. 2 seed or better in the upcoming Pac-12 tournament.
The Buffs will head into the coliseum on Sunday riding a three-game winning streak and winning six of their last eight games. USC is coming off their first conference loss of the season to Stanford, who currently leads the Pac-12 standings.
Colorado matched their season-high in goals, with 20, in back-to-back wins over Arizona State and Kent State this past weekend at home. Ashley Stokes claimed Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors after posting 18 points across two games.
Stokes tallied a career-high seven goals, the most by any Buff this season, along with four assists to finish with 11 points in the game against Kent State. It's the most points scored in a single game by a Buff since Darby Kiernan had a school record 12 points in 2018 against Jacksonville.

INSIDE THE SERIES
The Buffaloes have not found much success recently against the Trojans, dropping the last five games. CU last beat them during the 2021 season, they last won in LA in 2019.
