USA Lacrosse and community partners mobilize to introduce the sport to thousands.

Some weeks after the end of an absolutely brutal season, with a blood-rage subsiding enough to form coherent thoughts, it is time. The postmortem of the 2023 Ohio State men’s lacrosse season needs to be posted for the easing of my mind. And so much has happened since April that a recap is in order. The real junkies mentioned that women’s lacrosse was in a rough spot, and that Amy Bokker might be feeling the heat. I paid marginal attention to the women’s season, but those predictions proved correct.

The temptation here is to just write the obvious and leave: Ohio State is going to lose this game. But that's not fair to anyone. And, frankly, this team doesn't deserve that kind of slack. So buckle up. This Maryland team is not last year's by any stretch of the imagination. It's a more traditional Tillman team, good defensively, just slightly above average on offense. They're likely an Elite Eight team, but probably not Final Four caliber.
