This has to be one of the, if not THE single biggest victory for OSU Lacrosse, ever.
1. we were 0-13 vs UNC
2. we hadn't beaten one of the traditional elite powers before
3. Coach Breschi is a UNC alum
This team was so close to beating 2 other Top10 teams this year. In a year in which there seems to be no dominant lacrosse team OSU could actually contend for the national championship if we can get into the playoffs. At least to be able to face off in the playoffs vs a Hopkins or Maryland or etc.
awesome game

Ohio State lacrosse, football want to set attendance records
By MATT MARKEY
BLADE SPORTS WRITER
COLUMBUS - When Jim Tressel was an assistant football coach at Syracuse early in the 1980s, the Orangemen attracted large, enthusiastic crowds to the Carrier Dome on the day of their annual spring football game. The horde came to see the Syracuse lacrosse team play, but since football was part of the show, it got some carry-over from the gathering. "We played a doubleheader with our spring game, and we always had the Hobart-Syracuse lacrosse game, which is a big deal if you don't know much about lacrosse" Tressel said. "We did whatever we could to get people to come to the spring football game." On Saturday, some 413 miles west, southwest of Syracuse, out of the lacrosse-mad East and smack in the heart of the football crazy Midwest, Tressel will return the favor. The Ohio State football team will lend its massive, rabid following to the Buckeyes' lacrosse team when the two squads share Ohio Stadium. The OSU lacrosse team faces Denver at 11 a.m., with the Scarlet and Gray spring football game to follow at 1:30.

For a day, Ohio State lacrosse shares football's spotlight
By Kyle Nagel
Staff Writer
Thursday, April 17, 2008
Last spring, Joe Breschi approached the Ohio State hierarchy with the idea of coaching his Buckeyes men's lacrosse team in a match at Ohio Stadium preceding the football team's spring game. Jim Tressel, the OSU football coach, was receptive.
"He said when he was the quarterbacks coach at Syracuse, the lacrosse team did the same thing and even brought fans to the football game," said Breschi, in his 10th year with the Buckeyes. "I said, 'This time, it will work pretty much in reverse.' "
Possibly gaining lacrosse fans isn't the only perk involved with snuggling up to the powerful football program. The effort to increase attendance at the OSU lacrosse match against Denver on Saturday at 11 a.m. before the football spring game is one example of how the nonrevenue sports benefit from the thundering, $60 million football program at OSU, Breschi and other coaches said.

Lacrosse: Hyped game could be showcase for Buckeyes
Friday, April 18, 2008 5:31 AM
By Bill Rabinowitz
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
They arrived at Ohio State in the fall of 2004 with the men's lacrosse program at its peak. In 2003 and '04, the Buckeyes qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. But complacency had set in by the time Kevin Buchanan and his fellow freshmen suited up for the first time in 2005.
"My freshman year was pretty brutal, to say it bluntly," Buchanan said. "The chemistry wasn't there. Just the whole mesh, the whole attitude of the team wasn't what someone would want it to be."
The Buckeyes were 6-8 that year before making gradual improvement the next two seasons. This year, led by Buchanan, the Buckeyes believe they're poised to take the program to new heights.

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.

Sunday, April 20, 2008 3:33 AM
Joel Dalgarno scored a career-high nine goals and the 11th-ranked Ohio State men's lacrosse team defeated Denver 20-13 yesterday in front of 29,601 in Ohio Stadium.
The win was the fifth in a row for Ohio State (9-3, 4-0).
Dalgarno scored 10 seconds into the Great Western Lacrosse League game, but Denver (9-5, 3-1) -- ranked 17th in the nation -- scored less than a minute later. The Buckeyes then reeled off the next six goals, including four straight by senior Kevin Buchanan, who finished with a career-high six goals.
The nine goals scored by Dalgarno tied him for the second-best total in school history. The record in a game is 12, set by Steve Lauver in 1965.
