Ohio State's Eric Brunner leaps high to control the ball against Massachusetts' Bryan Hogan in the first half.
CARY, N.C. -- In a season full of team records and school firsts, the ground the Ohio State men's soccer team broke last night was the most important yet.
The Buckeyes took full advantage of their first appearance in the NCAA College Cup, beating Massachusetts 1-0 in front of a sold-out SAS Soccer Park crowd of 8,611. With the win, OSU earned a spot in the championship game.
Fifth-seeded Ohio State will ride a school-record 15-game unbeaten streak into the 3 p.m. Sunday matchup against second-seeded Wake Forest.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our players now," OSU coach John Bluem said. "We'll show Wake the respect they deserve, but we'll come to play."
They certainly did against the Minutemen.

A well done to the Buckeye footballers. Good luck Sunday on the pitch. I watched Wake when they played down here this year, very, very strong team. They'll run forever, beat you up, and score from many places. The boys will need to play their best.
Good Luck Buckeyes

The goal was actually shown in SportsCenter's Top-10 on Saturday morning. As were the two goals scored by Wake Forest, who will be the opponent tomorrow.
Congrats to the Men's Soccer team on making the finals.
Go Bucks!

Xavier Balc, rear, is part of a senior class that has won 51 games at Ohio State.
CARY, N.C. -- Four. That's the number of NCAA Tournament wins the Ohio State men's soccer team has registered in 2 1/2 weeks, propelling the Buckeyes into the championship game today against Wake Forest.
It's also the number of wins Ohio State had in the 2003 season, the year before the current seniors arrived on campus.
Since then, these seniors have been a part of 51 victories, more than any other class in the 55-year history of the program. The Buckeyes are on a school-record 15-game unbeaten streak, and they are making their first-ever College Cup appearance.
