Ohio State men’s tennis falls one match short of winning its first NCAA championship, losing to defending champion Virginia in the final.
No. 5 seed Virginia defended its NCAA men’s tennis title on Sunday by sweeping the third-seeded Buckeyes, 4-0, in the national championship match at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida.
Bernard dropped his second set to Alexander Kiefer, nullifying Ohio State’s best chance to get a point on the board. James Trotter battled back to force a third set against Goetz. But the Buckeyes’ hopes ended when Montes finished off a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Cannon Kingsley to clinch the championship for Virginia.
While Ohio State has consistently ranked among the nation’s elite men’s tennis programs since Tucker became the Buckeyes’ head coach in 2000, making every NCAA Tournament in his coaching tenure and winning 17 consecutive regular-season Big Ten titles dating back to 2006, an NCAA championship has eluded the Buckeyes, who are now 0-3 all-time in NCAA final appearances. The Buckeyes previously lost to USC in the 2009 final and Wake Forest in the 2018 final.
