Ohio State men's and women's tennis clinch share of Big Ten title

The Ohio State men's and women's tennis teams are both regular-season Big Ten Conference champions, and in each case, they had to share the title.

The men who are ranked No. 2 in the country (26-3) won their 2oth consecutive Big Ten title by finishing 12-1 after disposing of Nebraska 4-0 on Sunday, and shared the crown with Michigan State, which also finished 12-1 in the conference after a 4-1 victory over Purdue. The Spartans are 14-8 overall.

Michigan State, by way of its 4-3 head-to-head victory over the Buckeyes on March 15, will be the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament, while OSU will be seeded No. 2.

The women had to share the conference title with two other teams. The Lady Bucks finished the Big Ten season with a 12-1 mark, but so too did USC and Michigan. The Buckeyes beat the Wolverines earlier this season, but lost to USC 4-1 on March 15. The Trojans lost to Michigan 4-3 on March 22, so it's now about tiebreaking procedures to determine the No. 1 through 3 seeds in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament.

Ohio State polished off Wisconsin 4-2 to clinch a share of the title.

When the tournament brackets are out, we'll have them for you, and it looks like we could be rooting for both clubs when it comes to potential deep runs in the NCAA Tournament as well.
