And Ohio State advances from MIVA tourney
By Cindy Luis
The top-seeded Ohio State (20-7 overall) men’s volleyball team used a strong defense to defeat second-seeded Ball State (21-10), 3-0 (30-19, 30-24, 30-21) to win the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Tournament championship tonight in St. John Arena. It marked Ohio State’s 11th tournament championship and the fourth since 2000 (2000, 01, 05, 08). The victory moves the Buckeyes into the NCAA National Semifinals, May 1 at UC Irvine. Pairings and times will be announced later.
