COLUMBUS, Ohio – The 2023 Ohio State women’s lacrosse schedule includes 16 regular-season contests, including nine in Columbus. The upcoming campaign will be the first for the Buckeyes in the Ohio State Lacrosse Stadium, which will be complete in the new year.
“We are so excited for the 2023 season in our new home,” Amy Bokker, in her fourth season as the Buckeyes’ head coach, said. “The upcoming schedule features top national opponents traveling to Columbus, which will give us the opportunity to play high-level, competitive lacrosse in the best facility in the country. We will also have the chance to take on outstanding teams in the west and south regions before conference play begins. The strength of our nonconference schedule will get us ready for the toughness of the Big Ten. Our student-athletes will be exposed to a true national schedule that will help us prepare for postseason play.”
Times and broadcast information for all games will be released at a later date.
After a scrimmage at Vanderbilt Feb. 4, the Buckeyes will open the regular season with two games in Columbus, hosting Robert Morris Feb. 10 and Temple Feb. 12.
Ohio State will head west the following week, for games at San Diego State Feb. 17 and at USC Feb. 19.
