What a wonderfully odd year the 2009 campaign was for the Ohio State baseball team. This pleasantly surprising, hard-hitting team that was a couple arms thin on the mound managed to win the Big Ten Conference championship and qualify for the NCAA tourna-ment after opening the season picked as no better than a third-place team in the Big Ten Conference by any of the baseball publications.

About four hours after Ohio State completed a three-game sweep over Iowa in its final Big Ten series of the year to improve to 18-6 in the Big Ten, Penn State came-from-behind to defeat league-leading Minnesota and drop its record to 17-6 – UM lost a game with Indiana due to inclement weather – and deny the Golden Go-phers the title.

The Big Ten championship is the seventh for Coach Bob Todd at Ohio State and the first since the 2001 season, and it is the 15th all-time in school history.

Ohio State then dominated the 2009 all-conference awards with eight players named first- or second-team all-Big Ten with Alex Wimmers selected as the co-Pitcher of the Year and Dan Burkhart named the Player of the Year.

In addition, Todd was a unanimous choice as the league’s coach of the year.

Wimmers and Burkhart, both sophomores, were joined on the all-Big Ten first team by junior designated hitter Ryan Dew and senior closer Jake Hale. Named to the all-Big Ten second team were senior captain and third baseman Justin Miller, junior second baseman Cory Kovanda, junior center fielder Michael Stephens and sophomore starting pitcher Dean Wolosiansky.

Wimmers and Hale became the first Buckeye tandem to ever re-ceive first-team All-America honors in the same year. Wimmers was selected to the Louisville Slugger and PING! Baseball All-America first teams while Hales was first-team All-America by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

Hale was a finalist for the National Stopper of the Year award. He and Wimmers were each semifinalists for the National Pitcher of the Year award and Burkhart was a semifinalist for the Johnny Bench Award.

Ohio State competed in its 13th NCAA tournament under the direction of coach Bob Todd and the 19th NCAA in school history as the No. 3 Seed in the Tallahassee Regional. After losing to Georgia in the opening game, Ohio State sent Marist home with a 6-4 win and sent Georgia home with a 13-6 win before its season ended with a loss to No. 8 Florida State. The team finished with a 42-19 overall record.

Thad Matta directed the Buckeyes to a fifth-consecutive 20-win season in 2008-09, an Ohio State record for consecutive seasons with 20 or more wins. The stretch also extended Matta’s per-sonal record to nine-consecutive seasons with 20-plus victories, the second longest streak nationally by an active coach to start a career. Mark Few of Gonzaga has 20 or more wins in all 10 of his seasons as a head coach. The Buckeyes also won 10 games in Big Ten Conference regular season competition, the fourth-consecutive year Ohio State has hit double-digit wins in league play. Only the 1960-64 teams have recorded a longer consecutive stretch with 10 or more conference victories. Leading Ohio State in 2008-09 was sophomore Evan Turner. The Chicago native was a unanimous selection by both the coaches and league media to the annual All-Big Ten squad. His 17.3 points a game led the team and the Big Ten in scoring. He also led the Buckeyes in field goals (193), free throws (175), offensive rebounds (56), defensive rebounds (178), total rebounds (234/7.1 rpg.), assists (131) and steals (58). Turner’s efforts were rewarded with a spot on the 2009 U.S. World University games roster. The team played in Serbia over the summer. Freshman William Buford also earned the recognition of the league coaches and media by earning 2009 Big Ten Freshman of the Year accolades.

2009 NCAA FENCING CHAMPIONSHIPS

The fencing team, under the direction of 10th-year head coach Vladimir Na-zlymov, had another great season in 2009, winning the Midwest Conference Championship for the seventh-consecutive season, sending 12 athletes to the NCAA Championships and finishing third overall at the national championships. Eight Buckeyes were named to the All-America squad while eight more medaled individually at the Midwest Conference Championships.

Ohio State kicked off the most competitive part of the collegiate season with two duals in New York City, one at the St. John’s Duals Jan. 24 and one the next day at the New York University Duals Jan. 25. The men’s team went 3-0 on the first day at the St. John’s Duals, picking up key wins over Harvard, Columbia and host St. John’s. The women’s team also beat St. John’s, but fell to Harvard and Columbia. Both teams went 5-1 the next day at the NYU Duals, with the women knocking off top-ranked Notre Dame and the men picking off Yale and Columbia.

The next road trip for the Buckeyes was to Evanston, Ill., for the Northwest-ern Duals Jan 31-Feb. 1. Both men’s and women’s teams were successful, with the men going 8-1 and the women finishing 9-2. The men dropped eventual na-tional champion Penn State 16-11, but fell to Notre Dame in a close one, 15-12. The women lost to both Notre Dame and Penn State, but got big wins over host Northwestern and Temple.

The Midwest Conference Championships and the opportunity to win a sev-enth-consecutive team title awaited Ohio State next in South Bend, Ind. The men’s competition led off, where Ohio State took first place in foil and epee and grabbed second in sabre. The second session of the day saw the Buckeye women’s squad cement the victory by winning both foil and sabre competitions while grabbing third place in epee. The team title came just a day after the individual competition in which Buckeye fencers John Friend and Andras Horanyi won titles and Ohio State notched nine Top 3 finishes overall.

The Buckeyes played host for the Midwest Regional Qualifier March 7 where 12 Ohio State fencers qualified for the NCAA Championships. Mike Momtselidze, Andras Horanyi and Oksana Dmytruk were all winners of their weapon groups, while Jason Pryor finished second in men’s epee, Colin Sutter took second in men’s foil, Margarita Tschomakov was third in women’s sabre and Max Stearns was third in men’s sabre.

Ohio State looked to go back-to-back when they set off for the 2009 NCAA Championships in State College, Pa. The Buckeyes were close after the men’s competition wrapped on Day 2, trailing Penn State 98-93. Momtselidze and Pryor each went out on a high note in their final collegiate competitions as Buckeyes. Momtselidze took 19 wins in the qualifying rounds, tied for most in men’s sabre. Momtselidze carried the first place seed into the medal round, but was upended by fourth-seeded Daryl Homer of St. Johns in the opening round, 15-10. Pryor entered the epee medal round as the fourth-seed after 15 wins in the qualify-ing round. Pryor took top-seeded Graham Wicas of Princeton to the edge in the opening duel of the medal round, but fell in a tight one, 15-14.

The women’s team took to the strip for the final two days of competition knowing they would need its best to overcome the five-point deficit. Dmytruk won 22 duels over the two days, most of the foil group, and entered the medal round as the top seed. Dmytruk faced off with Notre Dame’s Hayley Reese in the opening round and fell by a narrow margin, 13-11. Lindsay Knauer, in her second career appearance at the NCAA Championships, took nine victories in the com-petition and finished in 18th place. In the end, Penn State came out first, with Notre Dame also putting together a solid run, leaving Ohio State in third. The third-place finish extended the Buckeyes’ streak of Top 5 finishes at the NCAA Championships to eight, dating back to 2002.

FOOTBALLWith nine starters returning on each side of the ball, Ohio State

entered the 2008 season with lofty expectations. And under the di-rection of eighth-year head coach Jim Tressel, the Buckeyes turned in another championship season with a 10-3 record, the program’s fourth straight Big Ten title, a seventh BCS bid and a record fifth straight win over “that team up north.”

After a 2-0 start with wins over Youngstown State and Ohio Uni-versity, the Buckeyes, playing without the services of running back Chris “Beanie” Wells, suffered their first setback of the season at top-ranked and Rose Bowl-bound Southern California.

Upon returning to Columbus, Tressel made the tough decision of going with freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor, the nation’s No. 1 recruit in 2007. Pryor, who became the first true freshman to start at quarterback for Ohio State since Art Schlichter in 1978, put on a show for the Ohio Stadium crowd with four touchdown passes, including 66 yards on the ground, in a 28-10 win over Troy. The next game, he ran for 97 yards and two scores and threw for another in a 34-21 win over Minnesota.

The following week presented a more daunting challenge with a night game at Wisconsin. With OSU trailing 17-13 with less than six minutes left, the 19-year-old Pryor calmly marched the Buckeyes down the field on a game-winning 12-play, 80-yard drive capped off with an 11-yard touchdown run, snapping Wisconsin’s 16-game home win streak. Pryor finished the game 13-of-19 through the air while Wells racked up a season-high 168 yards on the ground and one touchdown.

The Scarlet and Gray returned home the next week and rode the back of its dominating defense that completely shut down Purdue in a 16-3 win. The defense was led by a Malcolm in the middle of every-thing: Malcolm Jenkins. The senior cornerback was all over the field that day, blocking a punt that was returned for a touchdown while recording an interception, four solo tackles and a pass breakup.

The offense then flexed its muscle the next week at Michigan State in a 45-7 road win. The Buckeyes piled up 216 yards on the ground with 140 yards and two scores by Wells. Pryor added 72 on the ground and a score and 116 yards through the air as Ohio State built a 28-0 lead in the first half. Meanwhile, the “Silver Bullets” held MSU’s Javon Ringer, the nation’s leading rusher coming into the game with 158.8 yards per game, to a season-low 67 yards on 16 carries. Ohio State forced five turnovers (three fumbles and two INT) and returned two of those fumbles for scores.

That win set up the much-anticipated game with third-ranked and undefeated Penn State. With the winner moving into the driver’s seat of the Big Ten race, the two teams slugged it out for 60 minutes, only to see Penn State squeak by with a 13-6 victory in front the largest crowd (105,711) in Ohio Stadium history. Penn State came into the game averaging more than 45 points per game and was com-pletely shut down by Ohio State’s defense. The Nittany Lions’ only touchdown came late in the fourth quarter on a drive that started with a fumble recovery at the Ohio State 38-yard line.

After the gut-wrenching loss, Ohio State had a week off to re-focus, regroup and gear up for the final month of the season. The week off paid dividends as the Buckeyes tore through the month of November with three straight wins in dominating fashion. The three wins were by a combined score of 117-37 over Northwestern (45-10), Illinois (30-20) and Michigan (42-7) that gave Ohio State a share of the Big Ten title and earning them a trip to face No. 3 Texas in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz.

In Ohio State’s fourth consecutive BCS game appearance, the Buckeyes gave the heavily favored Longhorns all they wanted and then some; Texas did not pull ahead for its 24-21 victory until just 16 seconds remained in the game.

Seniors Alex Boone, James Laurinaitis and Malcolm Jenkins took home first-team all-Big Ten honors; Wells, just the sixth Buckeye to record back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons, was voted the team MVP. Wells, Marcus Freeman and Kurt Coleman were second team all-conference picks.

Laurinaitis (the Ronnie Lott Trophy and Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award winner) and Jenkins (the Jim Thorpe Award winner) were consensus All-Americans, Laurinaitis for the third time. Brian Rob-iskie, who earned first team Academic All-America honors for a sec-ond time, was a finalist for the Draddy Trophy for academics.

In April, the senior was awarded an educational grant through the NCAA postgraduate scholarship program. Bateman, who was named a first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American in June, was one of 58 winter-sport student-athletes across the nation to receive the one-time, nonrenewable grant. The Buckeyes also continued to be successful in the classroom with eight student-athletes earning Academic All-Big Ten status and 11 nabbing OSU Scholar-Athlete honors. In addition, all four of Ohio State’s five seniors graduated on time while the fifth earned a double major in four and a half years.

In 2008-09, the Ohio State women’s hockey program celebrated its 10th anniversary and opened the season with the retiring of its first number – Emma Laaksonen’s No. 3. The defenseman (2001-04) from Espoo, Finland, was the first Buckeye All-American and helped build the foundation of the team. The Buckeyes got out of the gate with a upset road sweep at then-No. 9 Providence, but had a difficult time capturing that success the rest of the season. Ohio State finished seventh in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association with 16 points on a 6-20-2 record against conference opponents and 8-25-3 mark overall. Before the season, the WCHA announced the implementation of shootouts if overtime games remained in a tie. While the game results were recorded as a tie for the NCAA, the winner of the shoot-out gained an additional point in conference standings. Ohio State participated in two shootouts and won both by scores of 1-0, at Min-nesota State (Dec. 13) and at Bemidji State (Jan. 23). A pair of freshmen hit the ground running, and forwards Laura McIntosh and Natalie Spooner made an immediate impact. McIn-tosh led the Buckeyes in points with 39 on 11 goals and 28 assists, while Spooner scored a team-high 21 goals. She finished third in scoring with 30 points. The duo garnered five WCHA Rookie of the Week honors, with McIntosh earning one and Spooner collecting four. Concluding her career with a strong final season was senior forward Hayley Klassen. She was second on the squad 32 points and scored 13 goals with 19 assists. Klassen finished seventh in career

scoring at Ohio State with 95 points and fifth in goals with 44. She co-captained the team in 2008-09 with fellow seniors Morgan Mar-ziali (captain) and Liana Bonanno (assistant captain). Klassen picked up a WCHA Offensive Player of the Week honor, while Bonanno nabbed USCHO.com and WCHA Defensive Player of the Week awards. The Buckeyes continued their success in the classroom with four WCHA Scholar-Athletes, including three-time honoree Bonan-no, Rachel Davis, Raelyn LaRocque and Jenna Kilpatrick, and eight WCHA All-Academic Team honorees: Bonanno, Davis, LaRocque, Kilpatrick, Olivia Antognoli, Teal Bishop, Megan Hostasek and Christina Mancuso.

MEN’S LACROSSE The Ohio State men’s lacrosse team, under first-year head coach Nick Myers, was 8-8 overall in 2009, including a 5-1 mark in Columbus. Senior Joel Dalgarno led the way on offense throughout the year, ending the season sixth nationally and first in the Great Western Lacrosse League averaging 3.81 points a game. His 61 points, 33 goals and 28 assists were first on the team, marking the third time in his four years he led or shared the team point lead. Dalgarno ended his career second all-time in scoring at Ohio State with 227 points, just the second Buckeye reach the 200-point mark and the first in 30 years. He ended his career first all-time in scoring with 126 tallies and second with 101 assists. Dalgarno was joined by senior defenseman Scott Matthews on the All-Great Western Lacrosse League first team, with five Buckeyes named to the second team in senior Jeff Ryan, juniors James Green, Scott Foreman and Brandon Freeman and sopho-more Matt Kawamoto. Dalgarno went on to pick up USILA honor-able mention All-America accolades for the second-consecutive year, becoming the Buckeyes’ first two-time All-American since Greg Bice and Tony Russo in 2003 and 04. For the second-consecutive season, the Buckeyes set na-tional men’s lacrosse records for regular-season and on-campus attendance when 30,192 watched Ohio State take on Notre Dame in Ohio Stadium, surpassing the then-record 29,601 from 2008.

After a record-breaking run to the national championship game a year ago, the 2008 season may seem to pale in comparison for the Ohio State men’s soccer team. Though the year ended with a double-overtime stunner in the NCAA Second Round, the Buckeyes – who made their sixth NCAA appearance in the last nine years – earned numerous little victories throughout the season that bode well for the continued success of head coach John Bluem and his squad.

LITTLE VICTORIES• Ohio State started off the season with an unbeaten streak of

four games, including a win over then-No. 18 Tulsa Sept. 7. This marked the third time since 2001 that the team went at least four games without a loss at the start of the season.

• On Sept. 14, the Buckeyes trounced Furman, 4-1, with goals by four different players. Two weeks into the season, nine different play-ers had tallied at least one goal, led by senior Danny Irizarry who scored in four of the first six games of the season.

• With the win over Michigan State Sept. 21, Ohio State improved to 14-4-0 in Big Ten openers, including a 10-2 mark under Bluem.

• No. 18 Ohio State shutout No. 7 UIC in a scoreless draw Oct. 8.• The first RPI figures of the season were released Oct. 10 with the

Buckeyes earning the No. 14 spot after going unbeaten in five of their last six games and posting three-consecutive shutouts.

• After dropping contests to Penn State and West Virginia, Ohio State rebounded with a come-from-behind win over Big Ten rival Wisconsin Oct. 18. Goalkeeper Byron Neal had a career-high and team season-high 10 saves in the contest.

• The win over Cleveland State Oct. 22 gave Ohio State its 14th-consecutive win at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium and seventh during the 2008 season.

• The Buckeyes may have lost their regular-season finale to Akron, 4-3, but they became the only team to score more than one goal against the Zips all season. Akron had given up just six goals all season prior to Konrad Warzycha, Dave Tiemstra and Doug Verhoff all scoring second-half goals.

• Julian Sisman hit the deciding penalty kick as Buckeyes advanced past Oakland with a 4-3 penalty kick decision in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Nov. 22. Drew Czekanski stopped the final effort by the Grizzlies to send Ohio State past the first round for the third time program history.

• In the first round contest against Oakland, there were five freshmen in the starting lineup and a total of six players that took the field with five or fewer games under their belts during the season.

RECORD NUMBERS The Buckeyes welcomed an average of 1,084 fans per game to Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium during the regular season. The mark is an Ohio State soccer record and is up from last year’s figure and previous record of 1,004. In addition, the 3,168 fans that came through the gates of JOMS Sept. 21 for the Buckeyes’ game against Michigan State is the most for a men’s and women’s soccer double-header since the Buckeyes began playing in JOMS in 1999.

BLUEM IN 12TH SEASON AT OSUThe winningest coach in program history, head coach John Bluem is in his 12th season at Ohio State and has guided the Buckeyes to three Big Ten titles and all six of the school’s NCAA tournament appearances (2000, 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008). His 2004 squad went to the ‘Sweet 16’ and his 2007 squad went to the national championship game. Bluem owns a 127-89-31 record at Ohio State. His career record, which includes six seasons at Fresno State, stands at 217-116-43. In 29 seasons of coaching soccer, teams Bluem has been a part of have gone 390-141-75. A fullback at traditional soccer power Hartwick Col-lege, Bluem helped guide the Warriors to the College Cup in 1974.

SEASON SNAPSHOTThe Buckeyes were 8-10-2 overall, 5-5-0 in the Big Ten and advanced to the Big Ten tournament for the 13th time. The team featured just three seniors: co-captain D Amy Graeff, F Lisa Collison and F Caitlin Colfer – and two juniors – M Ashley Bowyer and GK Lauren “Taz” Robertson.

Goals and AssistsCollison scored six goals this year to tie the all-time career mark of 35 set by Lisa Grubb from 2001-06 and she was second on the team in scoring with 16 points. The team’s scoring leader was freshman F Paige Maxwell, who scored eight goals and added two assists for 18 points. “Save by Robertson!”Robertson was terrific at goalkeeper for a third consecutive year. She posted a 7-7-2 record with five shutouts to move into second place all-time at Ohio State with 17.

Now Starting for the Buckeyes…The youth movement was profound, as six sophomores and freshmen were every-game starters by year’s end. Those six were sophomores Lauren Beachy (19 starts), Courtney Jenkins (18) and Alex Burzynski (13), freshmen Liz Sullivan (19) and Colleen Brady (16), and freshman Maxwell (16).

Season SnapshotThe team fought to overcome an 0-4-2 start with six consecutive wins that positioned the Buckeyes securely at 6-4-2 overall and 3-0 in the Big Ten. Excellent all-around play, sparked by Collison (five goals and 11 points during the six-game winning streak) and Robertson (four consecutive shutouts and no goals allowed for 445 minutes over six games), carried the team. Two road losses ended the streak. After a 3-2 win over Iowa in which Maxwell tied the school record with three goals, the season ended two weeks later with a 2-1 loss to Purdue in the Big Ten tournament.

A LOOK BACK AT 2009• September 17 - The Buckeyes opened practice for the 2009 season with high hopes for an exciting year. While awaiting the new stadium, the team utilized baseball’s indoor batting cages and Fred Beekman Park for their practice sessions.

• October 12 – Ohio State wrapped up the fall season with a pair of wins against Ohio University, closing with a 7-0 record in ex-hibition games. That record includes three wins from the Eighth Annual Ohio Collegiate Charity Classic Oct. 5. The event, which benefits the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute featured 14 teams from around the state.

• February 6 – The Buckeyes open the 2009 season with wins against Cleveland State and UMKC at the Hotel Encanto des Las Cruces Invitational Tournament. They went on to go 4-1 through the season-opening tournament, out-scoring opponents 47-11.

• February 15 – With two wins over No. 5 Texas A&M and one over host No. 21 LSU, the Buckeyes earned three-consecutive wins over ranked opponents and went undefeated in the LSU Easton Tiger Classic through five games. Kim Reeder was named MVP of the tourney, while Sam Marder and Courtney Pruner also earned spots on the all-tournament team.

• February 17 – Kim Reeder was named the program’s first USA Softball national player of the week. The Buckeyes also entered the Top 25 for the first time in 2009 – a feat they would not relinquish for the remainder of the season.

• March 1 – The weekend was filled with tornado warnings, thunderstorms and snow showers, but the No. 24-ranked Buck-eyes won all three games at the NFCA Leadoff Classic in Colum-bus, Ga., for their third undefeated tournament of the season.

• March 15 – Head coach Linda Kalafatis earned her 700th ca-reer victory with an 11-3 win over Eastern Illinois as Ohio State won all five games in the Louisville Cardinal Tournament and extended its win streak to nine games.

• March 21 – Courtney Pruner hits the first homerun at New Buckeye Field, leading the No. 17 Buckeyes to an 8-0 shutout vs. Michigan State to usher in the new stadium era.

• March 22 – With the weekend sweep of the Spartans, the team’s win streak was extended to 11 games, marking the lon-gest streak since the 2006 season.

• April 3 – Sam Marder was named a finalist for the USA Soft-ball collegiate player of the year for the second-consecutive season.

• April 8 – Alicia Herron belted a grand slam and a three-run homerun for a program record-tying seven RBI to lead the No. 16 team in the first game of a doubleheader sweep at Indiana. The Scarlet and Gray improved to 30-6 with the wins, securing its sixth-consecutive season with 30 or more wins, the longest 30-win streak in program history.

• April 11 – New Buckeye Field was officially dedicated in front of an all-time program-record crowd of 1,277. With the win in the circle, Kim Reeder moved into second all-time in both wins and innings pitched.

• April 12 – Ohio State came away with a 17-15 win over Illinois on Easter Sunday. The 32-run affair was the highest in Buckeye Field (new or old) history, eclipsing the 21 runs scored last sea-son against Illinois in Ohio State’s 11-10 win, and the second-most in Big Ten history.

• April 20 - Kim Reeder earned her third Big Ten Pitcher of the Week laurel of the season after earning all three of the Buck-eyes’ wins this week – one over Evansville and two against Wis-consin – without allowing a single run.

• April 28 - The Buckeyes earned their highest-ever ranking with a No. 11 nod by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, besting the previous mark of No. 13 set at the end of the 2002 season and moving up three spots since last week when they came in at No. 14.

• May 3 - Alicia Herron tied and broke the freshman record for homeruns as the No. 11-ranked Buckeyes blasted Northwestern, 10-1, in five innings. With a 7-6 win the day before, the Buckeyes’ win gave them the first series sweep at Drysdale Field for North-western since the 2003 season when it lost to Minnesota in an April 20 doubleheader. The Buckeyes also handed the Wildcats their first Big Ten run-rule loss since the same date in 2002 when Michigan defeated them 11-1.

• May 8 – Kim Reeder and Tory Haddad were named to the Aca-demic All-District teams. Reeder, as a first-team selection, is eligible for Academic All-America honors.

• May 9 – Sam Marder broke the all-time homerun record with her 42nd overall and 18th of the season as Ohio State swept Penn State in a doubleheader, giving the team a 44-9 record at the conclusion of the regular season. Seniors Kim Reeder and Cortney Cannon were honored at the conclusion of the games for their four years of service to the softball team.

• May 13 - Five team members earned First or Second-Team All-Big Ten honors. Sophomore Dee Dee Hillman was the lone first-team representative, following up a third-team appearance as a freshman, while senior Kim Reeder, juniors Whitney Cooper and Sam Marder and freshman Alicia Herron each earned spot on the second team.

• May 16 - The No. 11- seeded Buckeyes advanced to the Super Regional for the first time in six trips to the NCAA Tournament after taking down Kentucky, 7-2, to sweep the regional round of competi-tion in three games at their own New Buckeye Field. Kim Reeder took over the top spot among all-time winningest Buckeye pitchers on both the career and season charts, while four players – Alicia Herron, Sam Marder, Courtney Pruner and Vanessa Spears – each hit a homerun in the win.

• May 21 – Ohio State opened Super Regional action against Geor-gia live on ESPN2, marking the program’s first appearance on the network. Powered by Courtney Pruner’s three-run homer, the Buck-eyes jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but would end up falling 6-4.

• May 22 –The Buckeyes end their season with a 47-11 record, the second-most wins in program history, after making the first-ever trip to an NCAA Super Regional. Courtney Pruner hit her first career grand slam in the 7-6 loss to the Bulldogs.

• May 28 - Sam Marder and Kim Reeder each earned All-America honors from the NFCA, becoming the 11th and 12th selections in program history. Marder, who earned third-team honors last season, moves up the second team and is just the second two-time All-Amer-ican to don the Scarlet and Gray. Reeder is a third-team honoree and the second Buckeye pitcher to earn the ultimate honor.

The Buckeyes concluded the regular season with a No.9 ranking in the College Swim Coaches Association of America poll. The team finished with a 10-2 mark in dual meets and was 2-2 in Big Ten competition. Ohio State took second at the conference meet, which was the best finish for the Buckeyes in 31 years and at the national meet, the Buckeyes came away with a 14th-place finish.

Sixteen different swimmers have put their names in the record-books at Ohio State, including senior Felipe Travesso and junior Joel Elber. Each were a part of four record-breaking performances this season. Sophomore diver Sean Moore broke two McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion records as well.

Pelkey also finished second in the 100 breaststroke. Overall, Ohio State had 22 swimmers and divers score points during the conference championships. Among those, there were 15 individuals that finished in the Top 8 in 18 events. Juniors Joel Elber and George Markovic and sophomore Sean Moore led the way, scoring in three events each.

By the end of the 2009 season, there was no doubt, the synchronized swimming team was the best team in the nation. Not only did the Buckeyes claim their 25th U.S. Collegiate National Championships title, but they made history by also winning the U.S. Senior National Championships five weeks later. After watching rival Stanford win the high point title at collegiate nationals for four-consecutive seasons, the Buckeyes were able to dethrone the Cardinal by winning three of four routines in the finals. However, claiming to be the best collegiately was not enough for the Scarlet and Gray, they wanted to be the best among all synchronized swimming teams – club or collegiate. So the Buckeyes set their sights on the U.S. Senior National Championships and stole the show as they became the first team not from the West Coast to capture the championship. It was a year in which head coach Linda Lichter-Witter and the Buckeyes achieved all their goals. “This has always been a personal dream of mine,” Lichter-Witter, who owns a .967 (556-18-1) win-ning percentage, said. “Ever since I started coaching I always dreamed of being the best team in the country.” This was also my predecessor’s, Mary Jo Ruggieri’s, dream. This is the greatest moment in Ohio State history. We won two national championships this year.”

Head coach Ty Tucker led the Buckeyes to new heights in 2008-09. In addition to countless individual program records being broken and several personal accolades being handed out, the team as a whole celebrated its best NCAA finish in program history. After advancing as far as the quarter-finals four times, including three consecutive years from 2006-2008, the Scarlet and Gray qualified for the semifinals in impressive fashion. Beating Baylor, 4-1, in the quarterfinals, the Buckeyes met UCLA in the semifinals and rallied from a 3-1 deficit to earn a trip to the national title match against USC. Although Ohio State dropped a 4-1 decision to the Trojans, the Buckeyes were lauded with several honors during the course of the postseason. Senior Steven Moneke and junior Justin Kronauge were named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team at Nos. 2 and 3 singles, respectively. Prior to Ohio State’s match vs. USC, Tucker was presented with the Wilson/ITA Coach of the Year honor. Bryan Koniecko and Steven Moneke also were named All-Americans. Individually, Moneke closed out his final year with the Buckeyes with a trip to the NCAA Singles final, taking on Ole Miss’ Devin Britton. The championship final appearance is the furthest any Buckeye has ever advanced at the NCAA championships. Although Moneke finished as the runner-up, he ended his four-year Ohio State career as the program’s all-time singles winner with 146. He also tied the single-season wins record of 45.

When it was all said and done, Ohio State finished second in the final Campbell/ITA College Tennis Division I Rankings, compiled the most wins in a season with 36, set the program record for longest dual-match winning streak at 28 and recorded the best winning percentage in team history (.947). Although traditionally a spring sport, Ohio State’s run towards a historical season began in the fall of 2008. Senior Bryan Koniecko, who was ranked in the Top 5 majority of the season, captured the Wilson/ITA Midwest Regional before going on to win the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor cham-pionship in Charlottesville, Va. In both finals, Koniecko had to beat Kronauge for the title. Koniecko became the Buckeyes’ first indoor singles champion since Jeremy Wurtzman in 2003. After four years with the Buckeyes, Koniecko, who was named Big Ten Athlete of the Year for the second-consecutive year, finished his career first on the all-time combined wins list with 254 (129, 125) and first on the all-time doubles wins list with 125.

The 2008-09 season was one of highs and lows for the Ohio State women’s tennis team, experiencing both exhilarating highs and heartbreaking losses.

The Buckeyes faced their hardest schedule in recent memory, with 22 of the 26 regular season oppo-nents finishing the season in the ITA Top 75. Ohio State also took on three of the eventual Top 5 teams in the nation in No. 5 Notre Dame, No. 2 Northwestern and eventual national champion Duke, which clipped Ohio State 4-2 in Durham, N.C.

Marquee wins for Ohio State included a 4-3 win over eventual NCAA Round of 16 qualifier South Carolina, a 5-2 defeat of No. 46 Oregon in Eugene and a 7-0 Senior Day sweep of No. 37 Indiana. The Buckeyes followed up two weekends later and again knocked off Indiana in the Big Ten tournament to pick up their first postseason win in four seasons.

The Big Ten season was one of the best in program history, as the Buckeyes started off 4-0 in confer-ence on their way to seven Big Ten wins, the most since the 2002 season. The 4-0 start came during a stretch of the season when Ohio State won eight of nine overall, including five of six on the road.

The success during the season was due in large part to a strong doubles performance, going 47-29 (.618) on the season and winning 15 of 29 doubles points in dual match play. The team was even more effective after a mid-February shake-up, going 35-17 (.673) to end the season. Angela DiPastina and Christina Keesey led the team with a 15-6 mark together and cracked the national rankings several times throughout the season.

Individually, junior Kirsten Flower led the team with 19 singles victories, including a 14-10 mark at No. 1 singles and four wins over nationally ranked opponents. Flower was named to the All-Big Ten team, a first for a Buckeye since 2003, and received the Big Ten Player of the Week award after helping Ohio State to a 6-1win over Penn State in the Big Ten opener.

DiPastina led the team with 14 wins in the spring season, including eight consecutive to begin the dual match campaign. Julie Blackmore capped her Buckeye career with 15 wins as a senior, while Keesey went 14-5 in the spring and received the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award to finish her junior season.

The Ohio State men’s track and field team continues to make significant strides under the guidance of head coach Robert Gary. Ohio State’s indoor campaign witnessed the emergence of freshman sensation Thomas Murdaugh. The freshman from Dublin, Ohio anchored the Buckeyes’ Big Ten Champion 4x400m relay team while challenging the top of the league in the 400m. Murdaugh was Ohio State’s lone qualifier at the NCAA Championships, where he placed 10th in the 400m. The Buckeyes took fourth at Big Ten Indoors, finishing half a point behind third-place Penn State, and also claimed the indoor “Dual” title from its rival Michigan in January. A second-place finish at the Big Ten Championships, the highest since 2001, was the highlight of an impressive six months for the Buckeyes. Ohio State produced champions in the decathlon, 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay. Patrick Woods set a personal record of 7405, the second-best point total in school history, in pulling off a huge upset in at the championship. The Buckeyes’ sweep of the relays established Columbus as the home of the Big Ten’s fastest athletes. Murdaugh, Woods, Jeff See, Daniel White and Patrick Whalen represented Ohio State at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. See claimed All-American honors for the second time in the outdoor 1500m with an eighth-place finish, with Murdaugh becoming a first-time All-American after a seventh-place run in the 400m. The Buckeyes finished 56th overall. With only six seniors departing and six of the Midwest’s best young athletes headed to Co-lumbus this fall, Ohio State looks to stand at the top of the Big Ten in the near future.

WOMEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

The 2009 campaign saw significant improvement from the women’s track and field team. With only three seniors actively competing, the Buckeyes displayed a tremendous amount of growth as a team from the start of the indoor season in January to the end of the outdoor campaign at the NCAA finals in June. The Buckeyes were led by senior Ayrizanna Favours and sophomore Letecia Wright. The two were near the top of the Big Ten throughout the season in many sprint events -- Favours finished fourth in the 400m dash and sixth in the 200m dash at the Big Ten Indoor Championships, with Wright placing third in the 60m hurdles, and seventh in the 60m dash. Ohio State finished ninth overall. Records began to fall during the outdoor campaign. Freshman Maggie Mullen took the conference by storm in the javelin, breaking the Ohio State school record with her throw of 46.64m at the Drake Relays in April. She finished fourth at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships. Jordan Jennewine broke the school record in the 1500m run at the league championships (4:23.37), while the 4x400m relay team won the Big Ten title as the Scarlet and Gray placed eighth. Ohio State once again began to hit their stride late in the season, qualifying five individuals for the NCAA Championships in Fayetteville, Ark. Letecia Wright finished 16th in the 100H finals, while Latoya Sanderson, Ashley Caldwell, Ayrizanna Favours and Shaniqua McGinnis claimed 11th in the 4x400m relay. With nearly their entire team returning next season, the Buckeyes look to be a threat in the Big Ten in the years to come.

WRESTLING

In front of a crowd of 17,385, senior J Jaggers secured his place in Buckeye wrestling history, becoming just the third student-athlete to win two national titles. Jaggers won his second-consecu-tive crown in the 141-pound division at the 2009 NCAA Wrestling Championships at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo., March 21. In one of the tightest team races in recent NCAA wrestling history, Ohio State earned its second-consecutive runner-up finish with 92 points, trailing Iowa, who locked up its second-consecutive crown with 96.5 points. Iowa State finished third with 80.5 points, while Nebraska and Cornell took fourth (78.5) and fifth (73.5), respectively. The 2009 national championships attracted an NCAA Divi-sion I Wrestling Championships all-time total attendance record with 97,111 people in attendance over three days and six sessions. In all, the Scarlet and Gray crowned four All-Americans. In addition to Jaggers, Mike Pucillo and Reece Humphrey were runners-up at 184 and 133 pounds, respectively. Lance Palmer finished fourth at 149 pounds for his third-career All-America laurel. Head coach Tom Ryan, who earned his 150th career win vs. Illinois Feb. 15, led the Buckeyes to seven wins in the Big Ten following a 24-18 victory over Wisconsin Feb. 22. The 2008-09 Buckeyes are the first squad to compile seven conference wins since 1991-92. Ryan was later named NCAA and Rev Wrestling Head Coach of the Year, while assistant Lou Rosselli garnered NWCA Assistant Coach of the Year honors.
