West Lafayette, Ind. - The No. 3 Ohio State men's tennis team (27-1, 10-0) successfully defended its 2006 Big Ten Tournament title Sunday, when it beat third-seeded Illinois (18-8) in the final of the 2007 Big Ten Tournament at the Schwartz Tennis Center on the campus of Purdue University. Ohio State claimed its third Big Ten Tournament title in the last six years. The Buckeyes also were the 2007 regular-season league champions.
The event this year marked the fourth-consecutive year the Buckeyes and Illini have met in the championship match. Illinois won the first two meetings in 2004 and 2005, but OSU has now won the last two (2006 and 2007).
Ty Tucker, Ohio State head coach and 2007 Big Ten Coach of the Year, improved his record in the tournament to 16-5. Tucker has won five-consecutive Big Ten tournament matches and 26-consecutive Big Ten dual matches. The Buckeyes are one win shy of tying the team all-time record for wins in a season. The mark was set last season when OSU went 28-2.
