Ohio State men's lacrosse coach Nick Myers admitted his team's defense wasn't exactly satisfied with its performance in last weekend's Big Ten tournament. The Buckeyes came within one goal of a conference title — they lost 10-9 to Maryland — but in both games of tournament play Ohio State allowed double-digit goals.
Myers and his team were determined not to let that happen again — this time on an even bigger stage.
The Buckeyes hosted Loyola on Sunday evening at Ohio Stadium and put on a defensive clinic. Ohio State advanced to the quarterfinals thanks to a 7-4 win over the Greyhounds in a game where nothing came easy for the opposing offense.
