ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's lacrosse team (3-2) continues its road stretch on Saturday (Feb. 28), when it travels to No. 17 Denver for a 1 p.m. MT contest at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. The game will be streamed live on Midco Sports Plus.
Notes
• The Wolverines are 3-2 after falling to 13-11 to No. 10 Army in a neutral-site game on Feb. 21. Michigan will take on its second ranked opponent of the year in No. 17 Denver.
• Michigan and Denver meet for the fourth time, with DU holding a 3-0 advantage over the Wolverines. The teams last met in the NCAA postseason in 2024, with the Pioneers earning a 16-11 victory. Before 2024, the teams had not met since 2013, with the first meeting being played in 2012.
• Junior Nick Roode paces the Michigan offense with a team-best 21 points and has recorded a hat trick in all five games this season. Roode tied a career-best five goals against Marquette and has scored three goals in each of the last three games. Roode has already surpassed his season total in points, as he recorded just 17 points with 14 goals and three assists in 2025.
• Michigan set a program record to open the 2026 season, scoring 24 goals against Mercyhurst. The Wolverines broke the previous program record of 23 in a single game set on Feb. 22, 2022, against Canisius. U-M went on a 14-1 run to open the game and finished with another 10 straight goals in the decisive victory.
• Junior Kevin Kearns has been named Michigan's male nominee for the Big Ten Jackie Robinson Community and Impact Award. Kearns founded and organized a nationwide College Lacrosse 9/11 Stair Climb, where the men's and women's lacrosse teams ran 110 flights of stairs in the Big House -- raising $80,000 for families of FDNY first responders through the Michael J. Cawley Memorial Foundation. He is a 2025-26 Team Impact Fellow, taking charge of welcoming Lukas as a member of the Michigan men's lacrosse family for the spring season.
• Next, Michigan will travel to Houston, Texas, for a neutral-site contest against Harvard at 2 p.m. CT on Saturday, March 7, at Kinkaid High School.
