2025 Buckeye Lacrosse Alumni Weekend Recap

Last weekend, Ohio State men’s lacrosse hosted its annual alumni weekend and welcomed back generations of players to Columbus to celebrate the Buckeye Brotherhood.

Buckeye Lacrosse Golf Outing

Alumni weekend opened with the 17th annual Buckeye Lacrosse Golf Outing at the Ohio State Golf Course. Twenty seven foursomes took to the Gray course on Friday morning, with Grant Douglass winning with a score of 54.

This year’s Lindner Endowment Scholarship recipient is Dillon Magee. The scholarship, which honors the life of two-time Buckeye captain Dan Lindner’s wife and sons and has over $450,000 raised in the last decade, is given to a junior who demonstrates the upmost integrity and leadership while pursing an undergraduate degree.
