COLUMBUS, Ohio ? In front of 29,601 fans, the No. 11 Ohio State men?s lacrosse team defeated No. 17 Denver, 20-13, Saturday in Ohio Stadium. The attendance set national men?s lacrosse records for regular-season (20,180 March 3, 2007 in Baltimore) and on-campus (19,850, April 18, 1987 in College Park, Md.) games. With the win, Ohio State improves to 4-0 in the Great Western Lacrosse League and 9-3 on the year, extending its winning streak to five. The Pioneers suffer their first league loss this season (3-1) and are 9-5 on the year, ending their winning streak at six.
The Buckeyes built a big lead in the first half, with a 6-1 advantage at the end of the first quarter and a 13-3 lead at halftime. Junior Joel Dalgarno, from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, led the Buckeyes in the win with a career-best nine goals and 10 points. The nine goals are the second-highest total in program history, behind the 12 Steve Lauver had vs. Bowling Green Feb. 23, 1965, and tying with Brian Driscoll, who scored nine times vs. Michigan April 8, 1967. It is the seventh 10-point game in program history and ties for the fifth-best single-game performance in the Ohio State record books.
