Syosset, Long Island product Ryan Hunter has eight on the year so far and had a hat trick vs. Robert Morris. Senior Turner Evans was third on the team in scoring last year so far he only has four points this season but look for his numbers to go up.

Freshman out of Dallas Texas Drew Goethals has twenty-four saves in his first two colligate games.
These two teams have been playing each other since 2007 and Ohio State has won every match up except in 2010. 2013 was the closest game otherwise with the Buckeyes getting the 9-7 win. This year look for Ohio State to keep the win streak going. Jesse King is the best player on the field with a gold medal from the World Games this past summer and was a top MLL pick by the Rochester Rattlers. Bellarmine does not have a player who can stop him and he will be a match up problem in tonight’s games.
