The OSU men's lacrosse "stubbed their toe" in the final game of the season, according to Joe Breschi. He's probably able to forgive one game, however.
That's because the Buckeyes still managed to hold down a spot in the 2008 NCAA Championships, doing so for the third time in Breschi's 11-year tenure — all program firsts.
OSU has not played in the posteason since they went back-to-back in 2003 and 2004.
"This is thrilling for our guys," he said. "We're just so excited for the opportunity. The kids worked hard all year and the guys have rally put forth so much effort from a senior leadership standpoint."
The Buckeyes will try to get past Cornell Saturday (5 p.m. ESPNU), no easy task on their home field in Ithaca, N.Y. From there, OSU will likely be staring down 16-1 Duke, back in their traditional seat of power.
The way Breschi sees it, the 10-5 Buckeyes only have to be better than four teams to win it alll.
"Anything can happen," he said. "We're in the mix."
