Michigan Lacrosse - OSU Preview at the Big House

(Post written by BHB reader Dave C)

As a club sport, the Wolverines had a tremendously successful program. Winning three straight MCLA National Championships (2008-2010) and eleven CCLA titles (1999-2003, 2005, 2007-2011). This year, the Wolverines took a huge step by elevating their program to the Varsity status thus competing with teams that have been at this level for years. Next year they will be a full on NCAA D1 member in the ECAC conference. At 1-9 overall this year, the road so far has proven to be a tough one. As history with Michigan Tradition and Success has proven, this team will not give up, and will continue to grow a become a force at the Varsity level, just as they were at the club level.


Next weekend, Saturday April 14th, in The Big House, tradition continues in the form of the rivalry with the team from south of the border. Ohio (State) comes in at 4-6 overall this year and is looking to get above the 50% win level, not to mention spoiling it for Michigan, as hosts in this first meeting, by beating them at home in The Big House . If you are already a lacrosse fan, you know this will be a good one to watch. If you are new to, or even if you do not know a thing about Lacrosse, come out and support Michigan as they look to go 1 up in the Michigan vs OSU rivalry.

So the Blue is finding out what the difference between Club and Varsity D-1 is in a tough love sort of way. At 10-3 so far, cannot say yet if this first season will be a success yet. In order to make it a success, they will have to win the majority of their remaining games against some good teams. With two ranked teams in Dartmouth and North Carolina (not to mention Ohio State which is hovering near the top 20) left on their schedule , it will be a tough stretch. But let's not give up. They have some great recruits this first season, and I believe that coach John Paul will be able to do in this league, what he has been able to do at the Club level. Go Blue! Beat OSU April 14th in the Big House. That would be the exclamation point, regardless, of this breakout season.

Optimistically
