The Ohio State University got off to a rocky start, but the top seeds recovered from the loss of the doubles point to send No. 16 seed Pepperdine to the consolation tournament.

In singles Buckeye Bryan Koniecko pulled his team even with a dominating performance against Bassam Beidas at No. 1, but Pepperdine went ahead when Omar Altmann beat Justin Kronauge 6-4, 6-4 at No. 2. It was the last point the Waves would get, as senior Steven Moneke took his match in straight sets against freshman Alex Llompart at No. 3, and sophomore Shuhei Uzawa defeated Alex Moreno 6-3, 6-1.
