When the Ohio State Women's Volleyball season ended, I was certainly hoping the OSU would get a chance to host in the NCAA Tournament. Even after dropping the season finale at home to Michigan, I though that this team had proven they deserved a chance to have a home court advantage. Not only was the team very good all season long, but the fans at St. John provided one of the best atmospheres in Women's Volleyball on a regular basis.
Alas, Ohio State did not get a chance to host and found out they were headed to Lexington, KY where they would be taking on Notre Dame in Round 1.
No matter what, you can't take a tournament game for granted and Ohio State did not. The Buckeye women came out in dominating fashion winning the first set 25-16. Ohio State then completed the sweep with set wins of 25-21 and 25-17.
Just as she has all season long, Mari Hole played well for the Buckeyes as she put down 14 kills compared to only 4 errors. The real star, though, was Kaitlyn Leary. Leary finished the match with 16 kills and no errors, which is truly astounding. Mariah booth chipped in with 9 kills while Emily Danks did her part, putting down 8 with 0 errors.
Amanda Peterson had 42 assists and Davi DiSalvatore picked up 13 digs.
