The key to winning the match against a very good team is to win the doubles point:

Ohio State finished the fall with the nation’s No. 1- and No. 2-ranked doubles team. The duo of Robert Cash and Matej Vocel are No. 1 following a perfect fall. Cash and Vocel won the ITA Men’s All-American Championships and ITA National Fall Championships national titles, and finished with a 14-0 record.

The team rankings (above) came out today. It will be interesting to see what new rankings (for 2022) for singles and doubles are.
