Tomorrow, Ohio State welcomes Johns Hopkins to Columbus, in a rematch for both teams after an opening win by Ohio State. The game was a nice way to start off the year, but its allure quickly wore off in the first half of the year. Ohio State, by virtue of its recent form, is trending the opposite way of Johns Hopkins. Both teams struggled through the year, but the Buckeyes seem to have figured out how to play defense, while Johns Hopkins has looked anything but a title contender. The Jays have...

“Midseason” is very much a misnomer this year in college lacrosse. Teams like Duke, Denver and Virginia have played 10 games. Tragically, Marist has played just one. The Patriot League field is close to decided. There are really only a few conference games left for most teams, and with little to no non-conference games for most leagues, winning the league’s automatic qualifier is the only way to feel certain heading into Selection Sunday.  Here’s a look at where each conference stands ...

1-4 5. Notre Dame Irish students and alums stand for the school fight song. Saturday afternoon they were dancing after an 18-11 victory over Syracuse in the Carrier Dome. St Patrick Kavanagh finished with nine points. He is playing himself into Tewaraaton conversation. The groundball and face-off stats tell the story, with Notre Dame holding a 45-20 edge in grounders while winning 23-of-32 face-offs. The rest takes care of itself. After a close home loss to Virginia last week, the Irish were r...

Ohio State should have won that game. Full stop. Theres no good reason that the Buckeyes should have lost that game. They did everything necessary to win. Unfortunately, the offense sputtered just enough in the first half to make it an L instead of a W on the schedule. Its really, really unfortunate, given how well the defense played. Lets give credit where it is due. The Buckeye defense held Rutgers to its second-lowest output of the season. In 2021, holding the Scarlet Knights to 10 tallies i...

Monday March 15th, 2021 8:00am We are living with postponements and programs in pause. We witnessed monster goal-scoring runs this week.  We were treated to a more robust slate of Sunday games because of on-campus social distancing and facility availability. I think that’s a longterm positive. Why stack all the games on Saturday? The game grows when teams play on Thursday night, Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Everybody can’t play Saturday at the same time. Maryland, North Carolina and ...

Another week without Ryan Terefenko, this time with a different result. Despite the absence of their best player, Ohio State found a bit of a rhythm, and managed to defeat their archrivals, 13-10. The lacrosse teams are undefeated against the Wolverines so far this year, making today a glorious step towards normalcy. Offensively, Ohio State had an up-and-down day. Tre Leclaire was poor shooting the ball, ending up at 2-10. On the flip side, Leclaire dished out 2 assists today, the most he has h...

Monday March 8th, 2021 8:45am (Inside Lacrosse Photo: James Beaver) It was a weekend of little change. Loyola, Ohio State and Richmond were the only Top 20 teams to meet defeat. We have a lot to look forward to this week, and many of the best games are on television. Wednesday High Point is at Duke. Thursday Night Lacrosse debuts on the ACC Network with Virginia and North Carolina. On Saturday, Hopkins hosts Penn State, then Rutgers and Maryland play for first place in the Big Ten.
