No. 4 Penn State men’s lacrosse stifled by No. 9 Ohio State's suffocating defense

Penn State enjoyed a well-deserved spring break and a week off after a wild win over No. 3 Cornell followed by a blowout contest against in-state rival Robert Morris.

After crawling up to a shared No. 4 in the USILA poll, the Nittany Lions set their sights on Big Ten foe with no love lost, No. 9 Ohio State. The Buckeyes’ lone loss came back in Week 1 against Utah as they entered Happy Valley on a hot streak.

On a cold March night in State College, the blue and white came up short against the visiting Buckeyes, 13-9, in a game that wasn’t as close as the scoreboard indicated.
