NEW CONCORD — The Ohio Northern men's lacrosse team went on a 12-0 run in the first half and posted a 18-5 victory at Muskingum Friday night at McConagha Stadium.
The Polar Bears run their win streak to seven games and improve to 8-3 overall and are 3-0 in the Ohio Athletic Conference, while the Muskies fall to 4-6, 1-3.

In all, 11 different Polar Bears scored at least a goal.

But it was all Ohio Northern after that as the Polar Bears posted the next 12 goals of the game to go up 12-1 with 4:16 left in the half.
