Bucks off to a great start, leading 4-1 in the first quarter.

End of first quarter:

(9) Ohio State 5
(8) Cornell 1

[Jake]

The Bucks continue to fill the net, now leading 8-2 with over 10 minutes left in the second quarter. Cornell only allowed 7.8 goals per GAME during the season.

[Jake]

Cornell looks stunned. They've pulled their goalie, called 2 time outs and it hasn't helped as the Bucks now lead 10-2, and it's still not halftime.

By the way, Cornell is making its 21st NCAA appearance and have reached the final four 10 times. Meanwhile, this is our third trip and we're seeking our first tourney victory.

Great start, so far.

Ohio State 11
Cornell 2

halftime

The largest deficit Cornell has faced all season. If the Bucks finish off the win they'll return to Ithaca next weekend to take on top-seeded Duke.

GO BUCKEYES !

[Jake]

Bucks score again early in the 3rd to go up 12-2. Cornell brings in their third-string goalie, who just happens to be from Upper Arlington.

Cornell just scored to cut it to 12-3.

Buckeyes got sloppy late, put some backups in, but the outcome was never in doubt.

The freeken Goalie scored. ESPY material. I have never seen that before although I came close a couple of times.

Not the best clip in the world but it's the only one I've found of it.

Good find.

Do you really think it was an upset? I'm not so sure that we were such an underdog.
