Ohio State Extends Lead in Third Quarter En Route to Men's Lacrosse Win Against UAlbany

Columbus, Ohio - Freshman attackman Jeff Tundo scored three goals, including one in the decisive third quarter, in leading Ohio State to an 11-6 victory over UAlbany on Saturday, March 13 at rain-soaked Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
     Ohio State (4-2) broke open a tight game by scoring twice in the opening five-plus minutes of the third period. Logan Schuss moved in from the right side and past two defenders to tally his 10th of the season. Mike Pires, a junior midfielder, then worked around from the back and fired a low shot from the left into the net.
     Still leading 6-3, the Buckeyes pulled away with three unanswered. Tundo came wide open after Pires found him with a left-to-right crossing pass with 5:41 left in the stanza. Defenseman Keenan Ochwat scored 28 seconds later on a low blast with a long stick following a failed clearing pass. Mike Smail ended the run when he scored from the left side after moving around the cage in a one-on-one matchup with a UAlbany defender.
     Eddie Bambino and James Green added fourth-quarter goals for the Buckeyes, who improved to 4-0 at home this season. Goalkeeper Brandon Freeman stopped 12 shots. Ohio State, who is playing as a member of the ECAC Lacrosse League for the first time after winning six Great Western Lacrosse League championships, was coming off last Tuesday's road loss at Robert Morris.
     In a defensive struggle, Ohio State broke a 1-1 tie with 9:22 remaining in the first period when Tundo connected on a wraparound, scoring between the goalkeeper's legs from right of the crease. Tundo gave his team a two-goal advantage with 18 seconds elapsed in the second stanza. Ochwat picked up a ground ball following a faceoff and then hit a cutting Tundo from behind the cage.
     The Buckeyes moved out to a 4-1 advantage when Zach Boyt hit the crossbar with a shot and Dan Wertz netted the rebound. UAlbany (0-5) cut into the deficit with just two seconds left before the break. A long clearing pass by a midfielder was gathered in by Kyle Brunk in his offensive zone and the senior attacker found the cage.
     Sophomore Joe Resetarits scored three times, including a pair of extra-man goals in the final quarter, for the Great Danes, who have lost six consecutive away contests. Goalkeeper John Carroll made 10 saves and Brian Caufield added a season-high three assists.

Paw Prints:  Ohio State and UAlbany met for the first time ... the Great Danes have lost their opening five games for the second time in the last three years ... Joe Resetarits owns an 19-game scoring streak and has accounted for three or more points 14 times as a collegian ... John Carroll made double-figure saves for the 11th time during his career ... Brian Caufield has climbed into a tie for eighth in career assists (56) with Merrick Thomson (2004-07) and Jordan Levine (2005-08).
