By the time the Colorado Buffaloes women’s lacrosse team begins the 2019 season on Saturday, it will have been 282 days since the University of Florida knocked the Buffs out of last year’s NCAA national tournament, ending their 2018 season.
Who better to start the 2019 campaign off than that very same Florida team?
On Saturday, No. 17 Colorado will begin its journey back to the NCAA tournament with a rematch against the No. 6-ranked Florida Gators at Kittredge Field.
“Obviously from last year, [Florida] is a team we know well, a team that we kind of started our season with and a team that ended our season,” head coach Ann Elliott Whidden said.
