SERIES
Yale holds a 3-0 series lead against Michigan. The two met last season in another neutral site game, part of the Atlanta College Lacrosse Classic at Grady Stadium, ending in a 17-11 Elis win. They met in 2018 at New Haven, a 15-11 Bulldog victory, while the first game was a 13-7 Yale victory at Ann Arbor in 2014. 
 
LAST YEAR
The Bulldogs and Wolverines met in the Atlanta College Lacrosse Classic with Yale taking a 17-11 victory. The Bulldogs used a six-goal run during the second and third quarter to secure the victory. The Bulldogs had five multi-goal scorers on the day, including a four-goal performance from Brian Tevlin. Jack Starr was solid in net, making a season-high 10 saves. 
 
BULLDOGS
The Bulldogs, who opened with wins at Villanova and No. 1 Penn State, are coming off a 13-10 loss at UMass as part of the season-opening, five-game road swing. The offense at Amherst was paced by five goals from Matt Gaudet, and four others found the net against a strong Minutemen defense. TD Ierlan was effective at the X, going 20-26 while scooping 14 ground balls.
