Games thread- #16 lacrosse visits #12 Stanford (Fri., 8:00 PM MT) & Cal (Sunday, 1:00 MT)

I really enjoyed watching this one and there couldn't have been a better women's lacrosse game to watch for the first time ever. I really underestimated the athleticism of those women and was impressed with the speed of some of those women. I believe I'll watch more CU WLAX down the road.
Lisella had some big saves for the Buffs and she's just a RS soph...will we have two more years of her?
I fired off a tweet to RG about what it would take to have men's lacrosse at CU as promised. And checked the Denver Outlaws schedule as well.

And I like the fact that CU is hosting the women's lacrosse champions.

STANFORD, Calif. – With first place in the Pac-12 Conference on the line, the No. 16 Colorado Buffaloes and No. 12 Stanford Cardinal knew their game on Friday night was going to be a battle; so it was fitting that after regulation, the two were tied 10-10 and needed an overtime period to determine the top of the Pac-12.
In the overtime, both teams had their chances. But it was the Buffs who emerged victorious after junior Samantha Nemirov scored her second goal of the game 2:49 into the period, giving the Buffs the 11-10 win.
The win moves the Buffs to 7-1 in league play (10-4 overall) with two games left in the regular season. Stanford is now 11-4 overall and 6-2 in the Pac-12.
...
DEFENSE: Colorado's defense played another solid game. Lisella recorded 14 saves in the win. Brown led the Buffs with five caused turnovers and Kelsie Garrison added three.
NOTABLE:

UP NEXT: Colorado heads to Berkeley, Calif. to take on the California Bears on Sunday, April 15 at 1 p.m. MT.
QUOTES:
Head Coach Ann Elliott
"We knew going into this game it was going to be a battle. Stanford is a really good team and is dangerous in so many ways. I thought we did a good job being aggressive from the start, offensively and defensively. I'm proud of our effort and ability to continue to fight and play for each other even through some mistakes. We need to tighten some things up on both ends as we move into Sunday and learn from our mistakes tonight. We know Sunday is going to be another tough test on the road, against a good Cal team. So, we will regroup tonight and get refocused on Sunday.
...

Note- The Buffs will likely face a tougher than (maybe) anticipated Cal team on Sunday, as I'm sure the Bears will be feeling very confident after defeating Oregon (15-13) earlier today (or technically yesterday) for their best win of the season.

Cal was cutting away at the score until CU called time and CU is scoring points again. I really love lax since I did watch a men's lax contest on demand between North Carolina and Sycrause before this game.
There's not enough buzz for women's lax either and I agree about CU women's lax. People just need to go watch a women's lax game for once even if they have watched men's lax before.
There is also not enough buzz for lax in general among the CU fanbase. The nice thing is that the lacrosse championship is determined near the end of May. Being able to stretch CU athletics into May would be awesome before turning the focus onto football.
