Live video (Unclear what subscription is required. Hopefully any ESPN subscription works since it's ESPN3?) - http://www.espn.com/watch/_/id/3515101/colorado-vs-dartmouth-first-round
(Above article quoted above says it will also be on TV on the ACC Network. Kind of strange to me with no ACC teams competing in this game, but maybe part of an NCAA - ESPN negotiated requirement that all games in the tournament are televised somewhere?)

Live stats - https://www.ncaa.com/game/lacrosse-women/d1/2019/05/10/colorado-dartmouth
 
Dartmouth gets the 1st goal at around 5 minutes into the game. Both teams looking sloppy with turnovers.
 
Oh oh- Stinson limping with a rolled ankle after landing off a foul. She is able to walk off with assistance.
 


(So far, it's the green winning almost every draw vs. the Buffs getting many more free position shots.)
 


Stinson was able to get back in. Defender Elinor Wolf had to leave, hopefully only a little shaken up.
 


(I did hear Wolf's name in the last defensive sequence, so she was able to return.)
 
Ooh ooh- Dartmouth grabs its 1st 2 goal lead. (They continue to get almost EVERY draw, and haven't turned it over much this half.)

 
Buffs really need to start winning some draws to win this game as it's 6-16.
 
Buffs about to close this one out as they grab possession with 2:23 left and 82 seconds left on the shot clock, up 2 goals
