Ohio State men’s tennis beats Buffalo to advance in NCAA Tournament

The Ohio State men’s tennis team easily took care of business on Friday in a first-round NCAA Tournament match and will be moving on. The Buckeyes disposed of Buffalo 4-0 to earn the right to face California on Saturday in Columbus.

The Buckeyes started out on the right foot by winning the doubles point when Jack Anthrop and Bryce Nakashima won for the fourth time this year together, 6-2, while Nikita Filin and Brandon Carpico won 6-2 on court one.

Ohio State kept things rolling in the singles matches. Anthrop, Loren Byers, and Filin all earned straight set victories on courts three, four, and five to clinch the 4-0 sweep over Buffalo and advance on to try and beat the Bears and punch a ticket to the Super Regionals. The No. 3-seeded Buckeyes are heavy favorites to beat Cal, but we’ll find out if that’s the case at 4 p.m. ET.
