The Game Story:
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Ohio State men's lacrosse team was defeated by No. 8-seed North Carolina in the opening round of the 2004 NCAA Championship, 13-6, in Chapel Hill, N.C., Saturday. OSU, which was making its second consecutive and overall appearance in the national tournament, ends its season 12-4 (5-0/1st GWLL). The Tar Heels (10-4, 2-1 ACC) advance to play No. 1-seed Johns Hopkins in the quarterfinal round next Saturday in Charlottesville, Va. The teams ended the first half tied at three, but UNC outscored the Buckeyes 10-3 in the second half, 3-1 in the third quarter and 7-2 in the fourth, for the win.
