UMD now starts a brutal west coast road trip where they will face a string of top ranked MCLA lacrosse teams. Next week they travel to California to take on the nations #2 ranked team Cal Poly on March 10, #4 ranked Chapman University on March 12 and #11 ranked UC-Santa Barbara on March 14. The Bulldogs then return to Minnesota on March 17 where they will take on last seasons national champion and #3 ranked BYU at Augsburg College in Minneapolis. To round out this rugged schedule of highly ranked teams, UMD will then travel west again to take on #9 ranked Arizona State University on March 23 and #10 University of Colorado on March 25 in Tempe, AZ.
