Ohio State Men's Lacrosse (2013 ECAC Champions)

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

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.

Men's Lacrosse: Ohio State dominates GWLL rival Denver in front of record crowd

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.

Football warm-up act? No, way more

Ohio State's lacrosse team sports green shoelaces at Ohio Stadium. Sales of the laces for $10 a pair benefit HEADstrong, a lacrosse-related charity that supports blood-cancer research.



The Ohio State men's lacrosse team will play bigger games, but never will it play on a bigger stage than it did yesterday in Ohio Stadium. These Buckeyes tied up their lime-green shoelaces, grabbed their sticks and shined in a deflected spotlight. They were the warm-up act for the annual spring football scrimmage, and they beat the University of Denver 20-13 in a game that counted.
Then, the headliners took the field. The Scarlet team came out of one tunnel, the Gray out of another, and the lacrosse players stood there, beaming, as a crowd announced at 76,000 rose to its feet and got ready for some football practice. With that, the lacrosse players exited and went off to raise money for cancer research.

We were able to watch the last quarter of this game and it was fun to watch because we were winning and because it is the first time I ever saw Lacrosse played.
I have always had an interest in the game because it was played by American Indians and I love to play cowboys and indians as a boy.
Any way it is a lot like Soccer with sticks. I didn't see enough to catch up on the intricasies of the game but it was fun as I said and a nice warm up for the spring game.

Share of conference title leaves OSU wanting more

Nick Bechtel

Issue date: 4/30/08 Section: Sports

The next time they play it will mean a berth in the league championship game, a shot at the NCAA tournament and a second chance at Notre Dame.

"We know that if we lose, our season could be over," sophomore attacker Mario Ventiquattro said. "Everything we worked hard for could be flushed down the toilet. We're going to come out with a lot of high energy."

A 17-12 loss to No. 7 Notre Dame dropped No. 9 OSU to the second seed of the inaugural Great Western Lacrosse League tournament in Birmingham, Mich.

College lacrosse: Cornell to host Ohio State
Williams to visit Ithaca College men
By Brian Delaney
Journal Staff

ITHACA ? Several local college lacrosse teams learned their postseason fate Sunday night.
Six-time Ivy League champion Cornell received the eighth seed in the 16-team 2008 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship Tournament and a first round home game with Ohio State at 5 p.m. Saturday at Schoellkopf Field.
The Big Red is making its fifth straight NCAA tournament appearance and will play the Buckeyes for the first time since the 2001 season, Jeff Tambroni's first as Big Red coach. Cornell was assured of a tournament bid Saturday afternoon when Brown beat Princeton, 6-5, to share the Ivy League title with the Big Red. By virtue of a head-to-head tiebreaker ? Cornell beat Brown, 11-7, on April 26 ? the Red was awarded the league's automatic qualifier.

College men's lacrosse: Buckeyes love things fast-paced
Cornell's 1st-round foe scores in bunches
By Brian Delaney
Journal Staff

ITHACA ? In Sunday's Great Western Lacrosse League conference tournament championship game, Ohio State learned a valuable lesson about postseason lacrosse.
Losing faceoffs + shooting at a hot goaltender = elimination.
For sure, the Buckeyes' 9-2 loss to GWLL rival Notre Dame on Sunday at Seaholm High School in Birmingham, Mich., was a stunning result. The Fighting Irish stifled Division I's fourth-ranked offense, which boasts senior Kevin Buchanan (40 goals, 29 assists, 69 points), junior Joel Dalgarno (37-32?69) and a healthy array of capable marksmen, to just two goals on 41 shots.
The Irish controlled faceoffs (9-of-15) and got 18 big saves from goalie Joey Kemp, who Ohio State coach Joe Breschi said turned in the best cage performance he's seen since Cornell four-time All-American Paul Schimoler stifled Breschi's North Carolina Tar Heels with 25 saves in the 1988 NCAA tournament.?It kind of humbled us,? Buchanan said. ?Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.?
Cornell hopes not.
