NASHVILLE– Arizona State Lacrosse (3-3) is headed to Music City to take on Vanderbilt (3-2) on Sunday, March 10 at 10 am MST. The game can be viewed on ESPN+ and is the second road trip for the Sun Devils this season.
The two programs have faced off just once before, which came in 2019 when the Sun Devils were faced with a 15-14 defeat at home on March 5, 2019, and nearly knocked off the undefeated Commodores at the time.
ASU comes off back-to-back home losses to two ranked teams in No. 6 Michigan and No. 11 Florida. The Sun Devils led for nearly 55 minutes of regulation against the Wolverines, but fell in the final minutes. Senior attacker Mina Scott netted three goals in the game which marked the 11th hat trick for ASU this season. Sophomore attacker Lydia Oldknow also recorded a hat trick in the 22-6 defeat by Florida last weekend.
Scouting the opponent:
The Commodores return home after a 21-3 defeat to No. 15 Johns Hopkins. Both losses for Vanderbilt have come on the road, as two weeks prior to facing Johns Hopkins, the team was taken down by Sun Devils' Pac-12 foe Stanford. Vandy is undefeated at home this season with wins over Kennesaw State and Central Michigan.
