The Ohio State women's lacrosse team has momentum on their side as they prepare for today's high-stakes regular season finale. Hosting the third-ranked Maryland Terrapins, the Buckeyes are riding a two-game winning streak and looking to cap their schedule with a statement victory. Interestingly, the Terrapins arrive in Columbus on a two-game skid—their first losses of the season—setting the stage for a dramatic clash of teams heading in opposite directions.
For fans, it's a perfect day to be at Ohio State Lacrosse Stadium, with celebrations planned for both Kids Day and Alumni Day. If you can't make it in person, you can catch all the action on BTN starting at 4 p.m.
This late-season surge was ignited by a heart-stopping road win last Saturday. The Buckeyes traveled to USC and emerged with an epic 11-10 double-overtime victory, their first ever against the Trojans in four meetings. After falling behind early, Ohio State stormed back, led by a dominant first-quarter hat trick from Camryn Callaghan. The game was a rollercoaster, with USC erasing a three-goal deficit in the final minutes of regulation to force overtime, where Kampbell Stone sealed the dramatic win.
Carrying that confidence home, Ohio State then dominated their in-state rival, Kent State, in a commanding 17-6 midweek victory. The offensive firepower was on full display, providing a potent tune-up for today's marquee matchup.
Now, with their winning streak and home crowd behind them, the Buckeyes face their toughest test. Can they extend their run and hand a top-ranked Maryland team a third consecutive loss? All the elements are in place for a thrilling conclusion to the regular season.
