Last week, the former Kennebunk High student/athlete, was named men's lacrosse head coach at Ohio State University. He succeeds Joe Breschi who recently moved on to the head coaching job at North Carolina.
"I want to thank athletics director Gene Smith, TJ Shelton and the Ohio State administration for the opportunity to lead the Buckeye lacrosse program," Myers said in a press release. "I need to thank (former coach) Joe Breschi, who did so much for both the Ohio State men's lacrosse program and for me as a coach and person. I really appreciate the support I've received from the players, parents and alumni. I am excited about the bright future we have here."

Andrew Baxter Named Assistant Coach at Ohio State

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Andrew Baxter has been named the top assistant coach for the Ohio State men's lacrosse team, head coach Nick Myers announced Thursday. Baxter comes to the Buckeyes following four seasons as the first assistant at Drexel University and five years overall with the Dragons.

"We are thrilled to have Andrew Baxter join our coaching staff and I expect him to make an immediate impact," Myers said. "His vision for the student athletes' overall development is very clear and he possesses a strong sense of core values and family. Andrew has established a reputation as one of the top defensive minds in the game."

Baxter served as the offensive coordinator for Drexel from 2004-06 before switching to the defensive coordinator role in 2007. Under Baxter, the Dragons flourished on defense, ranking seventh nationally in scoring defense in both 2007 and 2008. They also recorded the nation's fifth highest face-off win percentage in 2008 en route to winning the Colonial Athletic Association regular season championship.

Good deal...hopefully the Buckeyes can do something again this year. Last year was awesome to see the program go where it went

Not a lot of action in the lacrosse thread. I'm sure the matchup before the Spring Game will change that.

On ESPN2, I just watched Virginia defeat Maryland 10-9 in 7 OTs, which I think they said was the all-time record for any college lax game. Virginia is #1, and remained undefeated. Maryland had a goal in the first OT wiped out by an inadvertent whistle.

Buckeyes defeated Quinnipiac 8-2 this afternoon.

How did your university visit go?
University visits went well. I toured a couple campus? and had a couple over nights with some players from each college which were a lot of fun.
