Ohio State men’s tennis wins outright Big Ten title
It seemed like a foregone conclusion, and in the end, that is exactly what it was with the Ohio State men’s tennis team beating Wisconsin easily to clinch its eighteenth-straight Big Ten regular season title on Sunday by a score of 7-0.
The doubles point was an easy affair for the Buckeyes with a 6-0 score by JJ Tracy and Robert Cash in combination with a forfeit to put OSU up 1-0. The win pushed Cash into a program record 140 doubles wins for his career.
From there, it was a breeze with Ohio State sweeping the five singles matches drama free in the following manner (two more forfeits included).
Singles
1. #17 Cannon Kingsley (OSU) def. Michael Minasyan (WIS) 6-3, 6-0
2. #16 JJ Tracy (OSU) def. Gabriel Huber (WIS) 6-1, 6-2
