The Ohio State men’s lacrosse team was knocked out of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday after losing to Cornell.
Things started off great for the Buckeyes as they raced out to a 4-0 first-quarter lead before a weather delay halted things for nearly 90 minutes. Things continued with about 11 minutes left in the half with OSU up 4-2, but Cornell was able to score two of the next three goals to grab the momentum despite Ohio State leading 5-6 at the break.
The second half was all Cornell.
The Big Red went on a 6-1 run in the second half and put the game out of reach, eventually winning by the final tally of 15-8. Cornell will now head to the quarterfinals of the tournament, while OSU will prep for the offseason.
Final from Ithaca.

“Congratulation to Cornell on a really well-played game,” said head coach Nick Myers in a statement. “While it’s disappointing any time your season comes to an end, I couldn’t be prouder of a group of men and especially a group of seniors. These seniors brought Buckeye lacrosse back and for that they can hold their heads high. We have bright days ahead of us and I’m thankful to everyone who went along on this journey with us.”
With the loss, the Buckeyes finish their season with a 10-6 overall record.
