Tre LeClaire had a massive game for the Scarlet and White as he scored 6 goals. Tom Carey only recorded 5 saves on the game, but it was just enough.

For the first time in program history, Ohio State will play for a national title in men's lacrosse. After trailing Towson 8-3 early on the third quarter, the Buckeyes began pouring in the goals, defeating #11 Towson 11-10. Tre LeClaire, the best player for OSU scored 4 points (3 goals & 1 assist) and Eric Fannell had 3 points (2 goals & 1 assist). Tom Carey gave up 10 goals and had 10 saves.

Ohio State will either play #5 Denver or #1 Maryland in the championship game on Monday. The Buckeyes have played both of those teams, defeating Denver early in the season by thrashing them, 16-7. They have played Maryland twice, going 1-1, defeating them 11-10 in the regular season and losing to the Terrapins 10-9 in the Big Ten Championship.
