W Lax upsets OSU at the Horseshoe for first-ever win over OSU
There's hardly been any good things that have happened this season for Michigan Women's Lacrosse.
The season started out 0-5 with losses against teams Michigan has beaten as recently as last year easily.
The Wolverines took out their frustrations last week in a record-setting beatdown of Detroit in a 21-11 win.
Today they took on Ohio State down at the empty Horseshoe in Columbus.
Michigan had never beaten OSU prior to today, 0-4 but last year's game was very close.
Lauren Oberlander had a hat trick in the first half, but Michigan still trailed, 6-4.
The Wolverines would eventually go on a run to take an 11-8 lead with just 4:57 left to play. OSU would score 3 goals in the final 5 minutes, including the game-tying goal with just 43 seconds left.
The game would go into OT. But this time, there would be no refs to save OSU.
Michigan's all-time leading scorer, Kim Coughlan, would score the game-winning OT goal.
Michigan picks up the biggest win the program's 4 year history. They shock Ohio State, 12-11 in OT at the Horseshoe. The first win by any Michigan team at that hell hole since 2000.
This is the first conference win in program history.
Michigan is now 3-7 and 1-0 in the B1G. The team returns to The Big House to take on the Big Purple Machine on Thursday afternoon, which will be on BTN.
It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine! 〽️ pic.twitter.com/Q6aX5vsbCm

I like the way the OSU endzone is in the background as they celebrate
No reason UM cannot develop highly-competitive LAX programs over the coming years. Great to see progress.
Well done ladies! Any win over OSU is a great win!
