Buffs To Scrimmage Northwestern Sunday at Kittredge Field

BOULDER — Before the 2020 season begins February 8, the University of Colorado lacrosse team will have a chance to test itself against one of the best perennial programs in the nation, Northwestern.

The Buffs and Wildcats will square off this Sunday, January 26, at 11 a.m. at Kittredge Field. This is a change in venue as the tilt was originally scheduled for the Indoor Practice Facility. With the forecast calling for mostly sunny skies and a high near 56, university officials decided to move the game outside.

Both programs finished the 2019 season ranked in the top 20 of the IWLCA Poll with NU coming in fourth and CU 19^th. Colorado finished last season with an 11-8 record after advancing to the NCAA second round, while Northwestern earned a 16-5 mark and fell to Maryland in the NCAA Semifinals.

Colorado opens the season February 8 against Florida in Gainesville, Fla. The Gators were 14-7 in 2019 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. UF was also ranked 13^th in the final IWLCA Poll.
