I am out. Good run by a school from the north. I guess there is always next year when Wolf can bring his doubles partner up from Cincinnati. Good run by the Buckeyes and props to Coach Tucker

Now maybe the woman's team can do something later today. It would be nice to beat Stanford.

I'm proud of this team.

Even though Ohio State fell short of its goal this season, I appreciate the fight of this team.

One day we'll win the national championship.

[cBucks]

Both of the men's doubles lost in third set tiebreakers yesterday. Women's doubles advanced.

Torpegaard just dropped his Round of 16 match, so the men's season is officially over. It was a great season. Looking forward to next year.
