OSU picked up another dominant victory over the weekend, as they claimed a 7-0 shutout victory at Penn State on Saturday afternoon. That win runs the Buckeyes win streak up to 5 matches. Winning at 2nd and 3rd singles, OSU picked up the doubles point, and then swept the table in all 6 singles matches to earn the shutout.

Next up, Ohio State heads to the Hoosier State, playing at Purdue on Friday, and then at Indiana on Sunday.

OSU started their weekend on Friday, by defeating Michigan State 7-0 for the fourth time this season. Then came Sunday's show down, where the Buckeyes ultimately earned a 4-3 victory to claim a share of the B1G East Title with the same team they beat, Michigan. The Wolverines started things off by winning the double's point, but OSU came back to take the first singles match. The match was back and forth for the next three points, before the Buckeyes capped off the comeback by winning the last two singles matches.

Next up will be the B1G Tournament.

After winning the B1G East crown during the regular season, the Buckeyes took their success to the B1G Tournament. OSU kicked off their tournament in the quarterfinals, dominating Michigan State yet again on the season, winning 4-0. Next up for the Buckeyes was the semifinal match, where again, they dominated Northwestern 4-0.

Finally, in the championship match on Sunday, the Buckeyes faced off against #17 Illinois, the B1G West Champs. This match was a tight one, and it started with the Fighting Illini taking the doubles point. OSU then took a 2-1 lead, when they claimed victory at #2 and #3 singles, before Illinois evened it up by winning at #5 singles. The Buckeyes then claimed the top singles spot by winning at #1, before the match was closed out by the Illini winning at #4 and #6 singles to secure the B1G Title.

Now, Ohio State will wait to see where the NCAA Selection Committee will place them in the tournament.

After making it to the NCAA Quarterfinal, the Buckeyes' season came to an end, as they lost to #7 TCU by a score of 4-1. The Horned Frogs kicked things off by winning the doubles point, and taking all the momentum. OSU tied things up after John McNally earned an upset victory at #1 singles. But, it was all TCU after that, as they won the next 3 singles matches to take the team victory.

Ohio State still has singles and doubles players competing, as the singles and doubles tournament begins on Sunday.
