The young squad managed to improve throughout the season, and should be better next year.
As the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament begins today with round one matchups, notably absent from the lineup is the Ohio State Buckeyes men’s lacrosse team.
It was all that could be expected of a rebuilding year for Ohio State. Having graduated two of its top scorers and its faceoff specialist, it was no surprise that the midfield would be down from last year and that the attack would struggle to find a rhythm. Predictably, with a formidable schedule in a formidable conference, 2016 was going to be a rough season for the young squad, but the team was better than the record might indicate.
