| COLUMBUS, Ohio - Freshman Kevin Buchanan's goal in double overtime lifted the Ohio State men's lacrosse team to a 10-9 victory over UMBC Saturday at Homewood Field on the Johns Hopkins campus in Baltimore, Md. The Buckeyes improve to 1-2 on the year (0-0 GWLL), while the Retrievers drop to 0-2 (0-0 America East). The game, which aired live on WMAR TV 2 in Baltimore, will be shown at 1 p.m. Sunday on ESPNU. Kyle Olson (Sr., Upper Arlington, Ohio/Upper Arlington) scored two unassisted goals in the first four minutes (at 13:01 and 11:06) to stake the Buckeyes to a two-goal lead. The Retrievers responded with three-consecutive goals (two by Brendan Mundorf and Brian Johnson) to end the first half with a 3-2 lead. Olson completed his hat trick with a goal at 12:57 of the second quarter to tie the game at 3-all. Mundorf responded with his third goal of the game just over three minutes later to regain the UMBC lead, and then UMBC's Andy Gallagher scored a man-up goal (assisted by Mundorf) at 7:06 to give UMBC a two-goal lead (5-3). Buckeye Gary Bining (Jr., Delta, British Columbia/Delta Secondary), assisted by Jason Bloom (Jr., Coquitlam, British Columbia/Centennial), scored a man-up goal of his own with 1:08 remaining in the half to send the Buckeyes into halftime down a goal, 5-4. UMBC scored its second man-up goal of the game at 12:24 of the third to push the Retrievers up by a goal, but Buckeye Ben Wolff scored just 24 seconds later, assisted by Andrew Bender (Jr., Wooster, Ohio/Wooster), to again cut the lead to one. Ohio State retied the game at 6-all when Justin Doran (Jr., Melville, N.Y./Half Hollow Hills East) scored with 3:46 remaining, but Retriever Joe Cahill scored 44 seconds later to put UMBC ahead at the end of the third (7-6). The Buckeyes rallied with the first three goals of the fourth quarter to tie the game and take the lead. Buchanan (Fr., Cockeysville, Md./Calvert Hall) scored 52 seconds into the quarter, assisted by Doran. Bender tallied at 7:23, with Josh Wittenberg (Jr., Hudson, Ohio/Hudson) assisting, followed by a Tom Randisi (Sr., Towson, Md./Calvert Hall) goal at 5:46. UMBC tied the game to force overtime with two goals 42 seconds apart, at 2:52 and 2:10. Neither team was able to capitalize in the first overtime period. In the second, Olson's shot was saved, but the rebound was picked up by Doran. He found Buchanan, who beat the Retriever goalie from 8 yards away for the gamewinner with 1:54 left in the second overtime period. Ohio State outshot the Retrievers in the game, 42-27. Buckeye redshirt freshman Mike Rimmer (Melville, N.Y./Half Hollow Hills East), in his first career start, made eight saves in 66:06. UMBC goalie Kevin Cepelak had 12 saves in the loss. Buckeye Eric O'Brien (So., Powell, Ohio/St. Charles Prep) took all 24 draws for OSU, winning 16. He had a team-best nine groundballs in the game.
