Ohio State men’s tennis came up one match short of winning its first NCAA championship.
No. 5 seed Virginia defended its NCAA men’s tennis title on Sunday by sweeping the third-seeded Buckeyes, 4-0, in the national championship match at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida.
Virginia took the early 1-0 lead by winning the doubles point as the Cavaliers’ team of Inaki Montes and William Woodall defeated Ohio State’s Robert Cash and Justin Boulais and Chris Rodesch and Jeffrey von der Schulenberg took down Andrew Lutschaunig and James Trotter.
The Cavaliers quickly took full control of the match as Rodesch, Montes, von der Schulenberg and Ryan Goetz all won opening sets for Virginia.
