With the regular season just around the corner, the Colorado women's lacrosse will begin the year listed among the nation's best.
On Monday, the Buffaloes came in at No. 17 in the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association preseason poll. It is the second consecutive year the CU program, set to begin its sixth season, has landed in the IWLCA preseason poll.
CU finished 14-6 last year, winning the Pac-12 Conference regular season title with a 9-1 league mark before losing to Stanford in the conference championship game. The Buffs earned their first NCAA Tournament win with a first-round victory at Jacksonville before losing at Florida in the second round.
