Pioneers play their first four games of the year away from home turf
DENVER – The No. 9 Denver Pioneers women's lacrosse team begins its 2023 campaign this weekend on the road against Louisville and Vanderbilt.
Â
DU opens the season on Friday at Louisville before wrapping up the two-game swing on Sunday at Vanderbilt. Both games begin at 11 a.m. MT.
Â
The Pioneers are the reigning Big East Conference regular season and tournament champions after posting an 18-3 overall record and a 5-0 mark in league play. DU defeated both the Louisville and Vandy at home in 2022.
Â
These will be the Pioneers' first games since falling to eventual national runner-up Boston College 13-8 in the NCAA Tournament second round on May 15.
Â
Denver is 6-3 all-time against the LU Cardinals and has won each of the last five matchups, including last year's season opener when it earned a 19-9 victory on Feb. 13, 2022. The Pioneers are 2-2 in outings in Kentucky, with them making their first trip to the state since 2020.
Â
DU owns a 6-4 record against Vandy, winning three of the last four meetings. The Pioneers will also be making their first trip to Nashville since 2020 and post a 3-2 record in the Music City. DU won 10-6 last season on March 6, 2022 against the Commodores at Peter Barton Stadium.
Â
This weekend marks the first half of Denver's four straight road contests to begin the campaign, as the Pioneers will also travel to Boulder to face in-state foe Colorado on Feb. 18 and to Columbus to play Ohio State on Feb. 25 before their first home game on March 1 versus Michigan.
