The Buffs start off this weekend with another CRUCIAL game, as they get another opportunity for a win over a Top 25 team this Friday against the #16 Trojans, who like the Buffs will I'm sure be VERY hungry to get a win. (Looks like the Trojans have dropped 2 of their last 3 games, both losses coming to Stanford, so are 5-2 in conference. Stanford leads the Pac standings at 6-1, while the Buffs are 2nd at 4-1.)
Note - For those planning on attending the 2nd game, wanted to highlight that the Sunday ASU game is at the soccer (Prentup) Field as opposed to the normal home of the lacrosse Buffs, Kittredge Field. (For those not following that closely Prentup, I assume due to its MUCH larger seating capacity, will be where the Buffs host the inaugural Pac 12 Lacrosse Tournament later this month. This game therefore is, I assume, for the Buff customer support and television folk, a "rehearsal" to help discover anything that needs to be smoothed out before the Tournament starts.)
