Ohio State women’s tennis sweeps Youngstown State to advance in NCAAs

The Ohio State women’s tennis team made quick work of Youngstown State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday with a 4-0 sweep to move on to Round 2. The Buckeyes got things started by taking the lead with doubles victories from Sophia Cisse-Ignatiev and Audrey Spencer, and Flora Johnson and Luciana Perry.

Up 1-0, the Buckeyes continued their dominance in the singles matches with Johnson, Perry, and Alessia Cau each winning in straight sets to give the Buckeyes the 4-0 win.  Johnson beat Dudova 6-1, 6-2 on court six to give Ohio State a 2-0 lead. That was followed up by No. 4-ranked Perry defeating Telzynska 6-1, 6-0 on court one for a 3-0 OSU lead. Alessia Cau then clinched the victory on court five against Line Greyling 6-1, 6-0 to punch Ohio State’s ticket to the second round.

With the win, Ohio State improved its record to 24-4 overall. The Buckeyes will play Notre Dame on Sunday, which also advanced earlier by beating the Arizona Wildcats in a hard-fought 4-3 battle. The two will play at Noon ET.

An OSU win on Sunday would move the No. 3 seed Buckeyes into a Super Regional, more than likely against Vanderbilt. When those results are known, we’ll bring them to you.
