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.
