The Bucks scored first then couldn’t claw back in an all-Big Ten final.
The Buffalo Bills of NCAA lacrosse finally have their slump buster.
Behind an at times dominate defensive performance that at one point held the Buckeyes scoreless for nearly 25 minutes, Maryland outlasted their Big Ten rivals, 9-6 to win their first college lacrosse championship since 1975. OSU’s Austin Shanks scored first early in the game but the Bucks weren’t able to get back in it until too late on the heels of a comprehensive performance by a Terps team that’d lost the two previous championship games and four in six years.
OSU put together a late run to close a five-goal deficit to two but weren’t able to ever get closer despite their best efforts.
The Bucks had beaten UMD once in overtime in Columbus during the regular season, but fell to the Terps in the Big Ten title game in a one-goal margin affair. OSU wasn’t able to repeat those performances with too many turnovers and too little taking advantage of what few opportunities a stellar Maryland defense afforded them.
Buckeye All-American goalie Tom Carey was the story of the game for the Bucks. His heroics almost single-handedly kept OSU in it during portions of a contest that Maryland comfortably controlled.
Ohio State head coach Nick Myers’ built himself a foundation and while the sting of coming so close only to come up short will surely last for some time, the future of OSU men’s lacrosse is quite bright.
Our Meredith Hein will be around with an in-depth recap this evening.
