Spielman on why he became a Buckeye:
“First, I chose Ohio State because of the campus; it was better than any of the others I had seen and there is this always a good vibe in the atmosphere when you are walking around. Second, the lacrosse coaching staff was amazing and what I was looking for. Everyone on the staff is always trying to find different ways to get better to try to bring home a championship for the Buckeyes and that’s just what I’m looking for – ways to get better and succeed. Lastly, I’ve been dreaming of going to this school all of my life. It makes it even better I have family just around the corner, and family who are alumni of the university.”
