CU Looses 13-5 to Stanford
Apr 8th
STANFORD, Calif. – The No. 8 Stanford Cardinal proved too strong a foe, taking down the Buffaloes 13-5 here Sunday, even though The University of Colorado lacrosse team battled back to within three goals late in the first half.
The reigning Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tournament champions came out to a 5-0 start, but back-to-back goals by the Buffs helped trim their lead to three. Stanford quickly got back to form, closing the first half on a 4-0 run.
Though the Cardinal dominated the draw in the second half, eight to one (15 to five total), the Buffs found their stride in other ways late in the game. Stanford continued to push its lead, but for the sixth consecutive game, the Buffs held their opponent to five or fewer goals in the final 30 minutes.
