Tre Leclaire scored five goals, including the go-ahead man-up tally with 1:28 remaining, to lift No. 17 Ohio State to a 13-11 win over No. 13 Notre Dame in Columbus on Tuesday.

The Buckeyes, who were a perfect 6-for-6 on extra-man opportunities, trailed by one with less than two minutes left. Jackson Reid tied it at the 1:52 mark, Leclaire scored 24 seconds later and then Leclaire iced the win with yet another man-up goal with 14 seconds left.

Ohio State (5-2) won its second straight game and defeated the Fighting Irish for the second consecutive year.

Notre Dame (2-3) has lost three straight games for the first time since the 2004 season. All three opponents — Maryland, Denver and Ohio State — are nationally ranked.

Ohio State’s attack unit of Leclaire, Jack Myers and Jackson Reid were a big reason why the Buckeyes came into the game averaging 14 goals per game. Leclaire (five goals, one assist) and Reid (three goals, four assists) were at it again Tuesday. Myers’ lone point, an assist, came on Reid’s game-tying goal.
