BEXLEY, Ohio - In the third consecutive match against an Ohio Athletic Conference opponent, Oberlin College men's lacrosse couldn't find the magic as they were defeated 22-9 by the Capital University Crusaders on Saturday afternoon.

Out of the intermission, the Yeomen's offense remained stagnant, while the Crusaders added six more scores and held the Crimson and Gold scoreless through the third.

Behind Koburov was Eric Hager who flung home two goals and registered a team-best two assists followed by a quartet of Yeomen who found the back of the Capital net. John Sutherland, Jake Parentis, Ian McCague and Regan Chasney all managed to notch a goal in the loss.

On the faceoff, Kinori Rosnow had another quality outing, leading the Yeomen in ground balls with 11 while going 21-of-34 on the draw.

In goal, first-year Calvin Filson posted two saves after facing a bombardment from the Crusaders.
