With the win, the Buckeyes move to 1-1 in Big Ten play and have put themselves in a better position to make the four-team conference tournament at the end of the season — which will be hosted by Ohio State on May 4 and 6 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
Sophomore Jack Jasinski had himself a day for the Scarlet and Gray, notching seven points on four goals and three assists in the win.
Redshirt freshman attackman Lukas Buckley and senior midfielder Johnny Pearson each scored twice for Ohio State, as well as a goal each from freshman attackman Tre Leclaire, senior attackmen Eric Fannell and Austin Shanks, junior attackman Colin Chell and senior midfielder Jake Withers.
FINAL: Ohio State 13, Hopkins 9! Buckeyes improve to 10-2 and 1-1 in the B1G. JHU falls to 6-4 and 1-1. Jasinski with 4G, 3A #GoBucks
