Ohio State’s men’s golf team wins the Buckeye Classic on Saturday, April 12, 2025. | @OhioStateMGOLF on X.com
From a Big Ten title, a home run for the record books, Big Ten honors, and a few big wins, stay updated on the Buckeyes’ top accomplishments across the sporting world.
While much of Buckeye Nation was watching the defending national champions take the field for the Spring Game Saturday, the rest of the spring sports teams were busy making us proud as well.
Here’s what you need to know to stay in the loop on all your favorite OSU spring sports this week.
Ohio State took home the title at the Buckeye Classic last Saturday — its first win of the season — after edging out Michigan by just one shot to finish on top of the 13-team pool.
The back-and-forth battle, which included multiple lead changes, ended with Ohio State on top thanks to a pair of birdies on holes 14 and 15. The team earned a final-round score of 282 (-18). Freshman Vaughn Harber came up big for the Buckeyes with a career-best fourth-place finish after shooting 6-under, while Jack Vojtko shot under par in all three rounds for the first time in his career to finish at 5-under in seventh place.
The Buckeyes will stay in Columbus this weekend as they host the Robert Kepler Intercollegiate at the OSU Golf Club’s Scarlet Course to close out the regular season.
Ohio State took two games of their three-game road series against Penn State this weekend, clinching the final game, 14-11, after senior Reagan Milliken became just the third Buckeye ever to hit three home runs in the same game.
Milliken went 4-for-5 with 5 RBIs and homers in the fourth, sixth, and seventh innings, and she wasn’t the only Buckeye getting in on the action. Morgan Frye batted 1.000 in the game, going 3-for-3, while Jasmyn Burns added three hits of her own and Skylar Limon tacked on 3 RBIs.
Buckeye bats have been hot all year, and while Milliken’s spectacular showing stood out on Sunday, the Buckeye offense had a lot to show for itself this weekend. During Friday’s series opener, which OSU took, 9-5, the team put six runs on the board with six hits and 5 two-out RBIs during the fourth inning. Then in Saturday’s loss, the Buckeyes earned their 100th home run of the year off a solo shot from Hadley Parisien.
Up next, OSU closes out an eight-game road trip with a midweek game at Dayton on Wednesday before welcoming rival Michigan to Columbus for a three-game series this weekend.
After No. 15 Ohio State defeated Quincy, 3-1, in the regular season finale last weekend on the road, the Buckeyes tied for third place in the conference standings, taking the tiebreaker over Lewis to earn themselves a No. 3 seed.
In addition to Saturday’s win, OSU also defeated Quincy, 3-0, on Friday. Saturday was their 10th win in 12 games, marking their third consecutive season with 11 conference wins.
Each of the top four teams in the conference has the opportunity to host a quarterfinal game, and OSU will host No. 6 Lindenwood Saturday, April 19, at 5 p.m. ET in Columbus. The Buckeyes are hoping to win their third consecutive MIVA postseason tournament to advance to the NCAA championships.
Ohio State’s men’s tennis team clinched a share of its 19th consecutive Big Ten title after sweeping Northwestern, 4-0, on the road Sunday.
The Buckeyes earned the doubles point with wins from Alex Fuchs and Alexander Bernard and Brandon Carpico and Nikita Filin, while singles points were earned by Filin, Will Jansen, and Jack Anthrop, who is on a 13-match win streak. It marked their 24th consecutive win over the Wildcats.
Sunday’s victory brings OSU to 22-2 on the season (11-0 in conference). Up next, they’ll try to remain undefeated in the Big Ten as they welcome Indiana on Friday and Purdue on Sunday to close out the regular season.
Though Ohio State’s rowing team was off this weekend, they earned two Big Ten Boat of the Week honors mid-last week after they won seven races against SMU the previous Friday. Their 1V4 and 2V8 boats were recognized for their wins, having won their races by three and four seconds, respectively.
After resting up this week, they’ll head to Sarasota, Florida, for the Big Ten Invite this Friday and Saturday.

Ohio State women’s basketball adds T’Yana Todd in transfer portal

The former Boston College sharpshooter brings consistent three-point shooting to the Buckeyes
With one week remaining in the transfer portal window, the only news coming out of Ohio State women’s basketball was outgoing players. That changed Tuesday when former Boston College guard T’Yana Todd committed to the Buckeyes. Todd announced her decision on Instagram Tuesday afternoon.
Todd is a 6-foot guard out of Ontario, Canada who brings a deep shooting threat to the Buckeyes. In 32 games for Boston College during the 2024-25 season, Todd started 29 games and averaged a career high 13.7 points per game.
Not only did Todd lead the Boston College Eagles in scoring but also the entire ACC in shooting efficiency from beyond the arc at 45.9 percent. That put Todd fourth in the country.
Even so, Todd’s 67 three-point shots made per game are fewer than Ohio State shooting guard Chance Gray, who hit 70 shots. In head coach Kevin McGuff’s offense, Todd will get more opportunities to shoot compared to Boston College, where she averaged 4.6 shots from three per game compared to 6.1 for Gray.
The question now for Todd is where does McGuff put the shooting guard who played a similar role for Boston College as Gray did for Ohio State. Todd enters the Buckeyes with three starters gone for the second consecutive season. This time, it’s three-guard Taylor Thierry, who was drafted to the Atlanta Dream on Monday night, and forward Cotie McMahon who transferred to Ole Miss for her final season of NCAA eligibility.
Todd does not play a similar style of basketball to either Thierry or McMahon, but there is nobody else on the team who is a like-for-like for either of the talented former Buckeyes. That means McGuff is likely to adjust his game plan for the group he brings into the 25-26 season, headlined by sophomore point guard Jaloni Cambridge.
As a member of the Canadian youth national team, Todd helped her U19 side win Canada’s second ever World Cup medal when they defeated France in the 2023 bronze medal game.
In 2022 and 2023, Todd played against the Buckeyes as a member of Boston College. In Boston, Todd scored 10 points with three steals. On Nov. 16, 2023, Todd traveled to Columbus with the Eagles and led BC with 16 points. Both games ended with victories for Ohio State.
McGuff has said in the past that he uses the portal to fill gaps in the team and all signs point to Todd coming in for that three-point shooting. Now, Ohio State needs more defensive help in the press. Todd averaged one steal per game last season and 1.3 in the 23-24, which is her career high.
With the addition of Todd, Ohio State’s roster is up to 10 players for next season. That does not include redshirt sophomore center Faith Carson, who entered the transfer portal on March 24, 2025.
Here are highlights of Todd last season, in a win against Miami.
