CU Buffs Women's Lacrosse 2026: A Historic Season

Sat, 16 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The CU Boulder women's lacrosse program just finished the best season in its short history — and for Boulder County lacrosse fans, it was something worth watching closely. Founded in 2014, the Buffaloes are only 12 years old as a program. In 2026, they played like a team that has been doing this for decades.

A Season to Remember

The Buffs finished the 2026 regular season 16-4, tying the school record for most wins in a season. At home on Folsom Field, they were nearly untouchable — going 9-0 in Boulder. That record earned them a top standing in the Big 12 and set the stage for a postseason run that the program had never managed before.

Boulder County had a team in the mix until the very last seconds. CU Buffs women's lacrosse pushed #1-seeded Northwestern to double overtime in the quarterfinals on May 14 — Maddie Shoup tied it with four seconds left in regulation before Northwestern won 13-12 in double OT. That's as close as it gets. With CU's run now over, here's what's happening next in the NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship and who to watch in the Final Four.

CU Beats Denver 11-9 in NCAA Tournament 2026

Fri, 15 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

For the first time ever, two Colorado programs shared an NCAA Women's Lacrosse Tournament bracket. On May 10, 2026, the CU Boulder Buffaloes hosted the University of Denver in the Second Round — and won 11-9. It was a milestone moment for lacrosse in this state, and Boulder County fans had every reason to watch.

The CU-DU Rivalry

CU and Denver have long been in-state rivals, but they play in different conferences, which means their paths rarely cross in postseason play. When the NCAA bracket paired them in the Second Round, it was historic — the first time two Colorado women's lacrosse programs had ever met in the NCAA Tournament. The game was played on CU's home field in Boulder, where the Buffs had gone 9-0 all season long.
