SOUTH BEND, Ind. – No, 1 Ohio State played its first road match of the season at Notre Dame on Saturday and had little trouble in a 7-0 sweep.

The Buckeyes got doubles wins on courts two and three from the duos of Cannon Kingsley and JJ Tracy and Justin Boulais and Alexander Bernard, respectively. Robet Cash and Bryce Nakashima were on serve at 5-5 on court one.
In singles, Tracy, the reigning Big Ten Athlete of the Week, got the Buckeyes started in singles with an easy 6-1, 6-1 wi on court three. Coupled with his doubles win, he is now just three wins from 200 combined victories in his career.
Bernard has had a great start to the year, and he continued that on Saturday with a 6-1, 6-4 win on court six. Robert Cash clinched the win with his own straight-set victory on court five.
Kingsley and Boulais each had three-set victories on courts one and two and Anthrop completed the sweep as he too split the first two sets and then controlled the match tiebreaker 10-5.
The Buckeyes next three matches will all be in the state of Texas. Next Wednesday, they take on No. 17 Baylor and then return a little more than a week later for a pair of spring break matches against No. 10 Texas and No. 12 Texas A&M.
