In the first round of ITA Indoor National Championships, the Buckeyes took it to the host team, and 16th seeded Wisconsin 4-0 on Friday night. That win advanced the Buckeyes to quarterfinals on Saturday evening, where they would play against #6 Wake Forest and ultimately earn a 4-3 victory. Defeating Wake Forest propelled OSU into the semifinals which will be tomorrow at 3:30 when they play #5 North Carolina.

Well the Buckeyes bid for a chance to advance to the finals of the Indoor National Championship ended today as they fell to North Carolina 4-0 in the Semi Finals.

First loss of the season for the Buckeyes. They were unable to defend their title at ITA Indoors.

Their next match is at Notre Dame this coming Saturday.

This week's rankings are out. Buckeyes stay at #2.

In the singles rankings, OSU's top singles player, John McNally moves to #7 after previously being ranked #19. Cannon Kingsley jumped from #22 all the way to #12. The Buckeyes' 3rd singles player, Kyle Seelig, drops from #31 to #33. At fourth singles, James Trotter remains steady at #70.

Moving on to doubles, Ohio State's top pair of Robert Cash/John McNally dropped from #1 to #3 in this week's rankings.

Ohio State's next match will be Saturday when they travel to Notre Dame.

A large number of players from Notre Dame and Ohio State are currently suffering from the flu, so both teams have mutually agree to not play this weekend. Thus pushing the Buckeyes next dual meet to next Sunday when they travel to play Georgia. This will be the first time in 46 years that the two programs have not competed against each other in the regular season.

Playing their first true road match of the season, the Buckeyes (and everyone else) were stunned, as OSU fell on the road to #35 Georgia 4-0. Not only was the win a shocker to everyone, but the way they lost, being completed dominated, was quite the shock.

Ohio State will try to get back on track when they play at Stanford on Wednesday.

For the third straight match, the Buckeyes were once again upset, this time on the road in Palo Alto, at #13 Stanford, 4-3.

Ohio State will now get into conference play on Sunday when they host Penn State.

Kicking off the Big Ten portion of their schedule, the Buckeyes had no trouble putting up a victory against Penn State, winning 6-1.

Next up, Ohio State will travel to Michigan State next Sunday.
