Best wishes to the #3 seed Buff lacrosse team (7-6, 4-3, #29 RPI), as they are scheduled to begin Pac 12 Tournament play against #2 seed USC (9-6, 6-3, #39 RPI) this Thursday, with the opening draw scheduled for 8:30 PM MT (7:30 PM local/ Stanford time). The winner will play in the championship game, which is scheduled to begin Saturday at 1:00 PM MT.
All games in the tourney are scheduled to be shown on the Pac 12 Networks.
(Originally, the #3 seed Buffs would have had to play a quarterfinal game, but Oregon has had to bow out of the tournament due to Covid-19 protocol issues, so only #4 seed ASU and #5 seed Cal are playing a 1st round game, on Wednesday.)
Go Buffs!!!

BOULDER — Colorado will take on No. 2 seed Southern California in the semifinals of the Pac-12 Conference Lacrosse Tournament on Thursday, May 6, at 8:30 p.m. MT at Stanford Stadium. The winner will move on to the title game with a trip to the NCAA Championship on the line.
The Buffs, who finished as the No. 3 seed, are heading straight to the semifinals since the No. 5 seed, Oregon, had to withdraw from the tournament because of COVID-19 protocols within the program.
"Obviously we wanted everybody to be at the Pac-12 Tournament and able to compete," Colorado coach Ann Elliott Whidden said last week. "Having an extra day for us is big because we are in the middle of finals and for us to be able to complete finals before we play will help us out a ton and we will focus then."
Original first round match-ups had the Ducks facing No. 4 Arizona State, while CU was set to take on No. 6 California on Wednesday, May 5. With UO pulling out of the tournament, Cal will now face ASU in the only first round match-up on May 5. The winner of that contest will advance to the semifinals to play top-seeded Stanford on Thursday at 5 p.m. before the Buffs and Trojans play. The championship game will be played on Saturday, May 8, at 1 p.m. MT.
All tournament games will be televised on Pac-12 Network. Troy Clardy will have the call, while Kara Lentz will provide the color.
...
ABOUT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: The Trojans finished 9-6 overall and earned the No. 2 seed with a 6-3 record in conference play. The only game that was canceled was against Stanford.
Kelsey Huff has scored a team-best 35 goals this season, while a pair of teammates, Issy McMahon and Ella Hearney have each recorded 30 goals. McMahon has also added 21 assists for a team-best 51 points. Maddie McDaniels ranks second in the Pac-12 and fourth in the nation in draw controls with 144 (9.60 per game).
In goal, Riley Hertford leads the team with 33 ground balls. She is averaging a 42.9 saves percentage and has allowed 12.21 goals against.
THE SERIES: USC leads the all-time series 8-4, but this season each team has won on its home field. The Trojans took the first meeting in L.A, an 18-12 decision, on March 26. Then seven days later in Boulder, the Buffs recorded a five-goal come-from-behind win to take down the Trojans 13-11. CU held USC scoreless while making the comeback, scoring the final seven goals of the game.
