The Ohio State University Women’s Tennis Team is moving onto the Round of 16 for the first time in program history after defeating UCLA in Round 2 in Columbus at the Varsity Tennis Courts, 4-1.
Under the watchful leadership of Head Coach Melissa Schaub the Buckeyes have increasingly gotten better. In the 2012-13 season as Interim Head Coach the path became clear rather fast. With back-to-back appearances to the NCAA Tournament in 2014 & 2015 – it only gets better for 2016.
UCLA earned the right to advance into the second Round by defeating Notre Dame on Friday the 13th, 4-1. Their season is now over with a 15-6 record and a National Ranking of # 27.
Today’s victory extends the Buckeyes winning streak to 15 – a Program record. The Ohio State University has dropped just 4 team points during this 15-game winning streak. They are currently 30-2 and are Nationally Ranked at #4.
Next will be Georgia Tech who earned the right to move on with a sweep against #13 South Carolina, 4-0. The Yellow Jackets #17 improved to 19-8 for the season. The stars for the Yellow Jackets that the Buckeyes will face are: Kendal Woodard, Paige Hourigan, and Rasheeda McAdoo.
The Buckeyes are strong, though. A determination is flowing evenly through their matches that indicate prosperous results for them.
Today’s win breaks down like this:
#3 Francesca Di Lorenzo, OSU (1) 7 (2) 6 – Win vs. #17 Catherine Harrison, UCLA (1)5 (2) 3
#89 Anna Sanford, OSU (1) 6 (2) 6 – Win vs. Kyle McPhillips, UCLA (1) 3 (2) 5
#96 Gabriella De Santis, OSU (1) 6 (2) 6 – Win vs. Terri Fleming, UCLA *1) 3 (2) 5
Ferny Angeles Paz, OSU (1) 7 (2) 3 – Win vs. Kristin Wiley, UCLA (1) 6 (2)
#81 Sandy Niehaus, OSU (1) 6 (2) 6 – Win vs. Maia Magill, UCLA (1) 3 (2) 0
#7 Catherine Harrison/Kyle McPhillips, UCLA 6 – Win vs. Anna Sanford/Miho Kowase, OSU 2
Terri Fleming/Alaina Miller, UCLA 7 – Win vs. #58 Gabriella De Santis/Sandy Niehaus, OSU 6
Oliva Sneed/Francesca Di Lorenzo, OSU 6 – Win vs. Maia Magill/Kristin Wiley, UCLA 2
As I mentioned, next up is Georgia Tech. They will confront the Yellow Jackets @ 8:00 p.m. on Thursday May 19th. I will be back with a preview and the location of play – as well as where to find it on the radio or television … let’s support our Buckeyes. They are looking mighty good.
Until then…
GO Buckeyes!
