BB, yeah I know. Gotta hang on to count those points. Counting on the fact that as high as the TennisBucks are, mayhaps it's a good sign that they stay there, or at least in top 5 for rest of year. But optomistically, it's looking good. We've scored Cup points in areas that normally don't happen...

Three Buckeyes Qualify for NCAA Singles, Doubles Tournaments

Team opens play Saturday in men's tennis championships

May 12, 2006

COLUMBUS, Ohio-Ohio State will be represented in both the 2006 NCAA Men's Tennis Singles and Doubles tournaments in Stanford, Calif., later this month after the team portion of the championships has concluded.

Freshman Bryan Koniecko (Long Island, N.Y./Syosset) is an at-large selection for the field of 64 singles players while seniors Ross Wilson (Toledo, Ohio/St. Francis De Sales) and Scott Green (North Canton, Ohio/Hoover) are the No. 1 seed in the doubles tournament. Wilson and Green, the No. 1 ranked doubles team in college tennis, will be one of 32 doubles teams competing for the national title.

The singles and doubles competition will be conducted May 24-29 at the Taube Tennis Center in Stanford, Calif., following the conclusion of the team championship (May 20-23).

The seeds are based upon competition between Sept. 7, 2005 and April 30, 2006.

Koniecko (23-12) was named the 2006 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and will play at the No. 1 singles spot when the Buckeyes open NCAA team tournament competition at 10 a.m. Saturday in Columbus.

Wilson is the Ohio State career leader in doubles victories with 115. Green is No. 2 all-time with 114 victories.

Ohio State (25-1) opens with Butler (14-9) at the Stickney Tennis Center (outdoors) or if inclement weather at the Jesse Owens West Recreation Center (indoors). Arkansas (17-10) and Michigan (13-11) play at 1 p.m. Saturday. The winners will meet at noon Sunday for the right to advance to the NCAA Round of 16 May 20-23 at Stanford, host of the team, singles and doubles NCAA championships this year.

Green and Wilson, who have won three Intercollegiate Tennis Association national indoor titles as a tandem, are vying to become the first doubles team in the history of college tennis to win four national titles in a career. The pair is 29-3 this season.

To put perspective into the dominance of this Buckeye tennis program over the last 17 years….
It is absolutely amazing to consider that this program has won EVERY Big Ten tennis championship since @scooter1369 made this very first Buckeye Planet post in 2006.
The 17 straight tennis titles break a tie and one-up today’s championship opponent ( that school up North.)
The Buckeyes’ Big Ten record during the streak is a stellar 179-2!
Since 2006, Buckeyes’ overall win/loss record is 549-59.
They are nearly unbeatable in Columbus,… their home record is 305-2 since the streak started 17 years ago.
Today, Ohio State will play for a Big Ten title for the 19th consecutive tournament. The Buckeye’s mission at noon will be to take down tsun for a third time this year and try to capture their 13th Big 10 tournament championship in the past 17 years.
