CU Looses 7-6 To Cal
Apr 21st
The University of Colorado lacrosse team battled but came up short against California, falling 7-6 here Sunday.
The Buffaloes trailed 3-2 heading into halftime, marking the lowest combined first half score for a CU game this season. CU had a bigger presence in the second half, scoring four of its six goals. With 1:17 remaining in regulation, Johnna Fusco got the Buffs back within a single goal, but Cal would dominate possession until the final horn to hand CU just its second home loss.
Still fighting for a bid to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tournament, Colorado falls to 9-7 overall, 5-3 MPSF. The Buffs had a great home field advantage in their inaugural season, falling just twice at Kittredge Field for a home record of 6-2. Against Cal, 402 fans cheered on the Buffs in their home finale.
Fusco led the Buffs, recording her fourth hat trick of the season. Fusco has now scored three or more goals in seven games. Cali Castagnola had two goals, while Amelia Brown contributed one. For just the second time this season, the Buffs had zero assists. The last time the Buffs had no assists, they suffered their one and only other home loss, an 11-8 defeat to Brown.

Hernandez vs Nicasio in Series Finale
Apr 20th
The early-season success of Roberto Hernandez continues Sunday in the series finale against the Rockies at Coors Field.
He is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA in three starts. He has allowed 14 hits, seven earned runs and eight walks and has struck out 17 in 16 1/3 innings, providing some stability to the rotation while Cole Hamels recovered from inflammation in his left shoulder.
Hamels is set to rejoin the Phillies rotation Wednesday in Los Angeles.
“Hernandez has given us a chance to win every time he’s pitched,” Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said Saturday.
Hernandez faces Rockies right-hander Juan Nicasio, who is 2-0 with a 3.50 ERA, and 15 strikeouts against four walks in 18 innings. In the wins, he has given up three earned runs in 13 innings. He also pitched well enough in his no-decision to keep the Rockies close enough to come from behind and beat the White Sox, 10-4, on April 9 at Coors Field.
