Ohio State University men's tennis team swept Louisville 4-0 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Rain on Sunday forced the game to move inside the Ty Tucker Tennis Center. With the win, Ohio State advanced to the Round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament for the 17th consecutive season and will host Arizona, next Saturday.
Ohio State jumped out fast on all three courts in doubles and quickly picked up wins on courts two and three to secure that spot. The momentum continued in the singles as the aftermath of a long and exciting game yesterday that seemed to take its toll on Louisville.
The Buckeyes won all six first sets and had one more win. Sunday was a special day for a variety of reasons. In addition to advancing to the NCAA Tournament, James Trotter and Cannon Kingsley both received their diplomas as part of graduation Sunday.
