After a four hour rain delay, the match restarted. Bucks dropped a tight dubs point with what appears to be a lineup juggled to find some favorable pairings.
USC also claimed victories at #2 & #6 singles (over Wolf & Kobelt). At #5 Joyce rallied for a 1-3 deficit.
Bucks needed wins at #1,4 and 5 to avoid another road loss.
Torp was solid at 1; with a big straight set win over #12 ranked Holt.
Kyle Seelig gained a 3rd set win at #5.
And freshman John McNally rallied to clinch a 3rd set comeback at #3, to give the good guys a 4-3 team win at #11 USC.
Match time including the rain delay was 6:45, so Bucks will need a quick turnaround before facing ASU today at 8 pm.
Recap of the match from the official site.

Lots of chatter, complaints on tennis forums that OSU stacks their lineup.
ITA rankings suggest Seelig is higher than #6 in the singles order.
The assignment for Kyle today is at #4,
hmm pressure on tucker, threats to challenge his order, if B1G coaches agree they can overturn results...
I want to believe it maybe something else like Seelig has started winning vs. Joyce and Seibert in practice.
