Buffs Ride Four-Game Win Streak Into Oregon - University of Colorado Athletics - CUBuffs.com

BOULDER — As the regular season is winding down, the Colorado lacrosse team is improving each week. The Buffaloes, 7-5, have won their last four games, which includes three Pac-12 Conference games, and are 4-3 in league play. CU looks to make it five straight with one final conference game left against Oregon this Friday, April 23, at 7 p.m. MT.
 
This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season as the first game was canceled due to COVID-19 protocols within the Ducks' program in March.

Rudy was named the offensive player of the week after recording eight goals and one assist in the two goals, while Cahill earned defensive player of the week honors with eight ground balls and 10 draw controls.
