Buckeyes Set 2024 Schedule
12/4/2023 8:10:00 AM | Men's Lacrosse
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State men's lacrosse head coach Nick Myers announced Monday the Buckeyes' 2024 schedule. The upcoming 14-game regular season marks the 75th in Buckeye Lacrosse history.
"As a Buckeye Lacrosse player, you are expected to compete at the highest level and this year's schedule is a testament to that," Myers said. "It's a challenge that our men are ready to accept, and the team has worked extremely hard this fall to ensure we make Buckeye Nation proud when we take the field next month. We are especially excited for year two in Ohio State Lacrosse Stadium and giving our fans a gameday experience like none other in college lacrosse."
After 2023's Buckeye schedule finished the season ranked ninth toughest nationally, Ohio State's 2024 schedule is guaranteed to rival that. This year's campaign includes matchups against eight 2023 NCAA tournament teams, the 2023 national champion and conference opponents that are as strong as ever.
"As a team we are extremely excited about this schedule," senior captain Trent DiCicco said. "You come to a place like Ohio State to compete at the highest level. I can't wait for this group to put on display the work we've put in this offseason and show what Buckeye Lacrosse is made of."
Times and television designations will be announced at a later date. Dates are subject to change based on announced broadcast designations.
