(Tempe, AZ) Arizona State lacrosse (7-9, 2-4) wraps up the 2024 regular season against UC Davis (9-6, 2-4) on Saturday, April 27 at Sun Devil Soccer/Lacrosse Stadium. The game is slated to start at 12 p.m. MST and will be shown on Arizona State Live Stream-3. The team will be celebrating its 12 seniors and graduates in a postgame ceremony.
The two teams have faced off three times in program history, with ASU holding the 3-0 series edge. The Sun Devils have averaged 17 goals per game against the Aggies and have allowed just over 12 goals per game to UC Davis. Two of the wins have come on the road, while just one matchup has taken place in Tempe, a 19-14 win on March 21, 2021.
Sun Devil Outlook
Last week, the Sun Devils dropped a road contest to the University of Oregon by a final score of 20-12. Graduate attacker Shannon Urey led the offensive charge with three goals, while all three goalies on the defensive end saw time in net for ASU. A win on Saturday would clinch a spot in the Pac-12 Tournament next week for the Sun Devils. In the event of a loss to UC Davis, a loss by both California and SDU would send ASU to the Pac-12 Tournament.
