Congratulations to the men’s tennis doubles team of Robert Cash and JJ Tracy, who won the season-opening, national ITA All-American championship with five consecutive wins without losing a set, including over the No. 1 seed from Tennessee.
The women’s tennis team also competed at the All-American championships, which were held in Tulsa, Okla.

The men’s golf team finished as the runner-up to Alabama in the 11-team Hamptons Invitational last week at the Maidstone Club in East Hampton, N.Y. Led by Top 5 finishes from Max Maldovan and Neal Shipley, Ohio State carded the best score on the final day, an 11-uner 277 total.
