Virginia Men's Lacrosse Loses 14-5 at Ohio State

The Virginia men's lacrosse team faced a significant setback, suffering a 14-5 defeat against Ohio State in their first road game of the season. The Cavaliers struggled offensively, scoring only five goals, their lowest since 2016, and committing 21 turnovers that hindered their performance. Ohio State's disciplined defense effectively stifled Virginia's attack, leading to the Cavaliers' inability to establish rhythm and capitalize on scoring opportunities. In contrast, the Buckeyes took advantage of defensive lapses, showcasing a strong offensive performance. This loss raises concerns about Virginia's ability to compete at a high level moving forward, particularly given their previously high expectations. The Cavaliers now hold a 2-2 record as they look to bounce back from this disappointing outing.
