EXTRY EXTRY! Buckeyes win natin'l 'ship! Ohio State's first varsity four capped the weekend that was by beating Virginia by 2.09 seconds to win the crew program's first ever national title. The Buckeyes' best previous finish was third in 2006. Congratulations to the Ohio State crew program on a breakout 2012.
One national championship? Why not two? The Ohio State's men's tennis team of Chase Buchanan and Blaz Rola became the first ever doubles team to sweep all three major championships in a single season, defeating Raony Carvalho and Gonzalo Escobar of Texas Tech 7-6 (4), 6-3 in the finals of the 2012 NCAA Men's Division I Men's Tennis Doubles Championships. The number one seeded duo had previously taken down a duo from North Carolina, Illinois, Kentucky, and Oklahoma en route to the title. Congrats, gents.
