National Champs

The Ohio State men's volleyball team earned the 2016 NCAA title, Saturday night, sweeping heavily favored, No. 1 ranked and top seeded BYU in three sets. For the Buckeyes, it's the second national title in program history and first since 2011.

In the first set, the Buckeyes battled back, fighting off six set points before eventually securing victory 32-30. After taking a back and forth second set 25-23 thanks to an 8-3 run, Ohio State dominated the third, thanks in no small part to the play of the national player of the year Nicholas Szerszen.
