BOULDER - The Colorado women's lacrosse program heads to Columbus, Ohio to face Ohio State University in their final game before conference play begins.

The Buffs' (0-4) slow season start continued after losing to No. 21 Michigan at home over the weekend. CU took nine more shots than the Wolverines, but UM had more shots on goal with 21 while the Buffs had 18.

Charlie Rudy and Sam McGee continued to lead Colorado's offense as each notched two goals. Liz Phillips also found her first goal of the season in the game's third quarter. However, Michigan held the Buffs scoreless in the first and fourth quarters, helping them build their substantial lead.

COLUMBUS – Colorado Lacrosse took down Ohio State in a 14-10 win here Sunday afternoon at the OSU Lacrosse Stadium to get its first victory of the season.

The Buffaloes trailed early in the game, scoring just one goal in the first quarter, but then came out firing in the second by putting the ball in the back of the next six times. That success on offense continued throughout the day as CU scored its most goals in a game all season.

"This team is very capable when we execute. We were not perfect, but we made plays when we needed to and we kept at it," head coach Ann Elliott Whidden said after the win.

Colorado (1-4) dominated the turnover battle over the Buckeyes (4-5), committing just 10 compared to Ohio State's 21. Eight of those 21 OSU turnovers were caused by the Buffs. Despite winning seven less draws than the Buckeyes, CU was able to feed off the turnovers and turn them into solid offensive possessions.

Charlie Rudy continued her phenomenal season with another great performance today, scoring five goals. Coming into the game, Rudy ranked third in the Pac-12 in goals with 13. She now leads the conference in goals through five games.

Sam McGee also had a great showing, scoring four goals, three of which came from free-position attempts in the fourth quarter. After missing the Michigan game, Ashley Stokes returned to the lineup and made her presence felt, recording a hat trick along with a caused turnover and two ground balls.

Junior attacker, Zoe McElhaney, and freshman midfielder, Jess Peluso, were also contributors on offense as they both scored their first career goals.

Ohio State made a run in the third quarter and regained the lead, but Colorado's defense stepped up in the fourth, allowing just one goal while the Buffs' offense was firing on all cylinders.

"Nothing is going to be easy for us, every team we play is competing for the same things we are. But when we understand that and we focus on things we can control, focus on the details and little plays, we are capable of anything," stated Whidden. "Proud of this team today. Lots of work to do, but we will take this win and start to get ready for our conference season which is key for us."

The Colorado Lacrosse team will be back in Boulder for a One Love and St. Patrick's Day game against Stanford on Friday, March 17th at 3:00 p.m. MT.
