WASHINGTON -Â Ready for its first two-game week of 2026, GW lacrosse is set to host an intra-city showdown with American on Wednesday at the Vern before heading to Radford on Saturday. Wednesday's home game is slotted for 1 p.m., and Saturday's opening draw will be at noon and will be carried on ESPN+.

With a 2-0 start to 2026, the Buff & Blue will look to capitalize on the momentum first on its home field before hitting the road for the first time in the young season.Â
