The No. 3 University of Colorado men’s lacrosse team (2-1) hosted the No. 19 University of Oregon (4-1) on Friday night for their home season opener. Colorado defeated the Ducks 12-8, handing Oregon its first loss of the season.
The Buffaloes, who were ranked No.1 in the rankings to begin the season, fell to No.3 this week after losing their first game of the season at Grand Canyon University.
The Buffs’ offensive ball movement and possession looked good during the early stages of the game.
