The Ohio State men’s lacrosse team (10-1, 2-0) was in Piscataway, N.J. Saturday to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (5-6, 1-1) in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes took an early lead and held on for a 13-11 victory.

After falling in their first game of the season to Utah, the Buckeyes have reeled off 10 straight wins for the best record in the program’s first 11 games since 1978. It is just the fifth time that Ohio State has posted a 10-game win streak in school history.

The Bucks were in front, 3-1, at the end of the first quarter. Rutgers cut the lead to just one, 6-5, going to the locker room at halftime. Ohio State added a goal to their lead at the end of three quarters, 9-7. Both teams scored four times in the fourth and the Buckeyes posted a 13-11 win on the road. They are now 3-0 away from Columbus.

Senior Alex Marinier paced the Buckeyes with three goals. Senior Jack McKenna, grad Ryan Donnery, senior Ed Shean, and senior Gannon Matthews each scored twice on the afternoon. Sophomore goalkeeper Caleb Fyock picked up his 10th win, making a season-high 19 saves.

Ohio State is back in action next Saturday as they travel back to the East Coast to play Johns Hopkins (6-4, 0-2) beginning at 2:00 p.m. The Blue Jays’ lacrosse teams play in the Big Ten. The men fell at Michigan, 11-8, Saturday.
