Ohio State stormed back from a five-goal halftime deficit and Jackson Reid scored the go-ahead goal with 49 seconds remaining to defeat Johns Hopkins 14-13 at Homewood Field on Sunday.

The Buckeyes (8-2, 1-2 Big Ten), ranked seventh in the Nike/US Lacrosse Division I Men’s Top 20, snapped a two-game losing streak. Reid finished with a game-high five goals, while Tre Leclaire and Johnny Wiseman netted three apiece.

The Blue Jays (6-5, 2-1) wasted strong efforts by Alex Concannon (four goals, two assists) and Joey Epstein (three goals, two assists) and could not deliver the senior-day victory. They’re perilously close to finishing below .500, with No. 1 Penn State and No. 4 Maryland its lone foes remaining.

Ohio State trailed 8-3 at halftime, but came out hot with seven third-quarter goals to take a 10-9 lead.

Hopkins answered with three straight goals of its own, a Cole Williams buzzer beater (ESPNU replays indicated the goal should not have counted) sandwiched in between tallies by Epstein and Jack Keogh.

Trailing 12-10, the Buckeyes went to work with just over eight minutes remaining in the game. Leclaire and Wiseman scored just 49 seconds apart to tie it. Then Reid finished a Wiseman feed to put Ohio State ahead 13-12 at the 6:08 mark.

Williams tied the game at 13 with an unassisted goal four minutes later. It remain tied until the final minute, when Logan Maccani found Reid in transition with 49 seconds left to put the Buckeyes up for good.

Justin Inacio (14-for-26) won the ensuing faceoff and Ohio State successfully milked the rest of the clock to hold on for the win.

Cornell Gets Top-10 Win at Notre Dame

Freshman Chayse Ierlan made 17 saves, including four in the final 2:09, to lead No. 9 Cornell to an 11-9 win over No. 10 Notre Dame at Arlotta Stadium.

Ierlan, who also made 17 saves in a loss at Syracuse on Tuesday, proved to be the difference in a back-and-forth game that featured six ties. Clarke Petterson and Cooper Telesco scored three goals apiece for the Big Red (8-4, 2-2 Ivy League), making their first trip to South Bend since 1991.

Cornell trailed 6-5 in the third quarter before Telesco opened up a five-goal run to turn the one-goal deficit into a 10-6 advantage.

Notre Dame (6-5, 1-2 ACC) has alternated wins and losses since early March, a stretch that includes wins over Denver, Michigan, Syracuse and Marquette, and losses to Virginia, Ohio State, Duke and now Cornell. The Fighting Irish host North Carolina in their regular-season finale Saturday.
