Denver Pioneers use big second half to beat Ohio State in men's lacrosse
Freshman attack Zach Miller amassed a career-high five goals and senior goalie Jamie Faus was spectacular in the second half Saturday as the ninth-ranked University of Denver defeated Ohio State 9-5 at Barton Stadium.
The Pioneers, who have advanced to the NCAA Final Four in two of the last three seasons, blew open a tight 3-3 game with a 6-1 run after halftime. Miller mixed in three goals and two assists in the second half and Faus stopped five of the first six shots he faced. Faus faced 10 shots overall, stopping eight.
Junior Ryan LaPlante started in goal for DU and stopped 5-of-8 shots in the first half.
Denver is 6-2 and begins Big East Conference play March 22 against visiting Rutgers. Ohio State, who still play in the Pioneers' former conference, the ECAC, fell to 1-5.

You really are an East Coast Elitist. Who'd have fucking thunk!!! I can't believe you are now a Lacrosse fan.
I grew up in a place called Cockeysville, Md., which is well known to any lax fan. I played longstick defenseman. They called me "the Animal".
