While Ohio State certainly has the talent, determination, and grit to put up big stats, the real key to breaking the Best Win Percentage record is consistency. They have to play at a high level with very few mistakes in all their matches.
But when you look at the stats from last season, consistency was in many ways the keys to OSU’s success. Even in their loss against Florida, the Buckeyes put up high numbers. Both Londot and outside hitter Gabby Gonzales, who is also returning this season, recorded double-doubles. The handful of matches they lost throughout the season were close ones and had a few points played out differently, could easily have swung in OSU’s favor.
If they can build on what they accomplished last year, look to this year’s Buckeyes to go on another long undefeated streak and possibly even walk away with the Best Win Percentage in school history.
