No. 16/17 Men’s Lacrosse Hosts No. 7 Ohio State Saturday in Big Ten Opener
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Geezus fvcking christ. OSU wins clean FO and immediately scores in transition to win 6-5.
Rutgers had a 4-1 lead at halftime but just could not break through that defense in the 2nd half, and got outscored 5-1 the rest of the way.
Huge missed opportunity.

that’s a tough loss, but not in the least a bad loss.
It’s not a “bad loss” in the sense of losing to an unranked or lower level team. True enough.
But when you have a 3-goal lead at halftime, and a 2-goal lead midway through the 3rd quarter — in a game where each goal was basically worth two goals due to the stout defenses — you just can’t lose that game at home.
In that respect, it’s a “bad loss” to get outscored 5-1 after halftime and to lose 5 seconds into OT.
Agree with almost all of the above. It’s a bummer but it’s probably a close loss to the best team in the conference. Let’s see how we do at home against JHU.
Though will admit when I checked and it was 4-1 at half, thought to myself that may not enough. Kind of knew with our 2nd half issues it could be tight.
Sucks to think just 1 more goal.

I don’t like the OSU coach much but I have to give him credit. Benching Fyock was the difference in this game. He stays in we win going away. The backup stood on his ear. Not a lot of coaches would pull the reigning goalie of the year for giving up 3 goals in a half. He obviously knows his players.
Went toe to toe with the 7 team in the country. Didn’t get the W but played well enough to. Came down to a play here or there. Results matter and a loss sucks but there was a lot to like. Rock fight game we needed one more play in. This is lacrosse today.
Beat Hopkins, who will present an entirely different challenge. What a league/
