COLUMBUS-Ohio -- The 2023 Ohio State Men's Soccer exhibition season concludes at 7 p.m. Saturday when the Buckeyes take on Dayton in an exhibition at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.Â
Ohio State is coming off an 11-3-6 campaign in 2022 in which the Buckeyes tied for second in the Big Ten and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.Â
Six newcomers were added to the Ohio State roster for the 2023 season. The first-year Buckeyes join a talented crop of veterans led by All-America senior midfielder Laurence Wootton, a first-team All-Big Ten selection in each of the last three seasons. He also was named the league's Big Ten Midfielder of the Year in 2022. He also is on the preseason United Soccer Coaches Midfielders to Watch List for 2023. Â
Also back is second-team All-Big Ten selection Anthony Samways and a pair of sophomores (Luciano Pechota and Tanner Creech) who made the league's All-Big Ten freshman team a year ago.Â
The 2023 season officially begins Aug. 24 vs. CSUN (7 p.m.) in the annual Wolstein Classic in Columbus. Dayton will take on UC Davis at 4 p.m. that day as well in the event opener. Â
Admission and parking are free for all Ohio State regular-season home matches.Â
