COLUMBUS, Ohio – No. 1 Ohio State lost the doubles point for the first time this season but bounced back to sweep all six singles matches and defeat No. 4 South Carolina 6-1 on Sunday at the Ty Tucker Tennis Center.
The Buckeyes are now 9-0 on the season and have three wins over Top 15 ranked teams.
Robert Cash and Bryce Nakashima claimed the lone doubles win for the Buckeyes, winning 6-2 on court three. The duo, which is ranked No. 35 in the country, improves to 6-1 on the year. South Carolina would win the other two doubles matches to take an early 1-0.
But the lead was short lived as the Buckeyes made quick work on courts five and six. Alexander Bernard won 6-3, 6-1 over Sean Daryabeigi on court six and then Cash downed Lucas Andrade de Silva 6-1, 6-2 on court five.
Justin Boulais followed with a 6-0, 6-4 win on court two and JJ Tracy had the clinching point on court three, winning 6-1, 6-4 over James Story. Jack Anthrop added a straight set win and Cannon Kingsley beat No. 50 Toby Samuel 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 to complete the scoring.
The Buckeyes will likely be the No.1 seed in next weekend’s ITA Indoor Team National Championship in New York. The bracket for the event will be released on Tuesday with matches starting on Friday.
