Ohio State football has been the talk of the town, as it typically is, but the Ohio State men’s soccer team has been quietly just as dominant throughout the last few months.
The Buckeyes faced the Michigan Wolverines on Sunday in the Big Ten Tournament, and they came out victorious, downing their opponent 1-0.
With the win, the Buckeyes are the 2024 Big Ten Tournament Champions. This was expected as Ohio State entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed and beat the No. 4-seeded Washington Huskies on November 10.
Michigan was the No. 7 seed and had an impressive run, beating the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers and then No. 6 UCLA Bruins before failing short to the Buckeyes.

Ohio State also earned a first-round bye and the No. 1 seed in the 2024 Division I men’s soccer tournament and will face the winner of Western Michigan vs. SIUE, which will take place on November 21.
Unlike in college hoops, the Buckeyes are the lone No. 1 seed in the tournament. Ohio State ended the season with a 14-1-3 record, and it was 7-1-2 in conference play. The Buckeyes finished the year 5-1 on the road.
