TEMPE– Sun Devil Lacrosse (7-4) looks to snap a two-game skid against Cincinnati (7-5) in the first-ever Big 12 Conference game for the program on Saturday, March 29. First draw is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. AZT and can be viewed on ESPN+.
The Sun Devils have a chance to stay undefeated at home, as the team has compiled a program-best 5-0 start at home this season. A trio of players on ASU have the chance to hit some career numbers, as attackers Lydia Oldknow and Teagan Ng could hit 100 career goals against the Bearcats- Oldknow needing two, and Ng needing five. Junior attacker Jordyn Behar needs just two assists to set the program's single-season assist record.
Tuesday will be the first meeting all-time between the two programs, as the Sun Devils and Cincinnati are both members of the inaugural Big 12 women's lacrosse season.
Sun Devil Outlook:
The Sun Devils reached a program-best five games over .500, but losses in their last two games have the team at 7-4. ASU is winless on the road in their last four contests.
ASU has a pair of Devils in the NCAA leaderboards, as Jordyn Behar's 41 assists are the second most in the NCAA, and Anna Viglione's 120 draw controls have her sitting atop the leaderboard at #1. Because of Viglione's dominance, ASU has the second most draw controls per game in the NCAA, averaging over 18 per game.
Scouting the Opponent:
The Bearcats own a 7-5 record through 12 games. The team posts a 3-3 record on the road this season, losing two of their last three road games. Saturday marks the Big 12 opener for both teams.
