Women’s Lacrosse 2002-05
Regina Oliver, a two-time All-American, ended her Ohio State career as one of the most decorated players in the women’s lacrosse program’s history. As a standout midfielder, Oliver concluded her career in 2004 with the career caused turnover record (201) and owns the Top 4 spots in the single-season totals from each of her four seasons. In addition to All-America honors from each major publication, she was a finalist for the 2004 Tewaaraton Trophy, as well as the 2003 American Lacrosse Conference Player of the Year after earning Rookie of the Year honors in 2002. It is without surprise the most successful years of Buckeye lacrosse coincide with Oliver’s career. As a sophomore, she helped lead the Buckeyes to a 12-11 victory over the then-eight time defending national champion Maryland March 31, 2002 in College Park, a win which stands among the program’s biggest and factored into its first appearance in the NCAA tournament. During that postseason run, Oliver took part in the Buckeyes’ first NCAA tournament advancement after upsetting fourth-ranked Duke, 10-7, May 8, 2003 in Durham, N.C. Oliver is a member of the US National Team, helping the squad to the 2009 World Cup Championship and earning All-World Team honors in the process. She also has been the assistant coach of the Duquesne women’s lacrosse team for the past four seasons.
