Less than a week after Director of Athletics Thomas Boeh announced that he was leaving Ohio to take a similar job at California State University, Fresno, a temporary replacement will be named today.
President Roderick McDavis will reveal whom Ohio is naming as interim director of athletics today during a 10 a.m. press conference in the Cutler Hall First Floor Conference Room.
Star renamed to first team For the second time in as many seasons, sophomore Dana Dobbie has been named to the first team of the All-American Lacrosse Conference.
The midfielder led the Bobcat lacrosse squad with 50 points, scoring 37 goals and dishing out 13 assists; after just two years on the team, Dobbie ranks in Ohio's top 10 all-time in each of the three categories. She also finished fourth on the team in ground balls with 27 and led the nation during the regular season in draw controls with 72.
Dobbie started 12 of the 14 games she appeared in this season before injuring her leg, which kept her out of the last two games of the season.
