Exactly one year ago today, Marquette men’s lacrosse snatched an 8-7 overtime victory over Ohio State, but the Golden Eagles were not as lucky this year, losing 13-9 to the No. 9 Buckeyes in Dallas Saturday afternoon.
The first quarter remained close between two defensive-minded teams. Marquette scored first on a dive through the crease by graduate student Andrew Romagnoli. However, OSU’s Tre Leclaire answered back with a goal to tie it at 1-1.
The second quarter was an entirely different story. The Buckeyes earned five goals in the frame, which put MU in a 6-3 deficit at halftime.
