It can be said that the opening series was a success, given the level of the opponent and the fact that they were able to check off multiple boxes over the course of the weekend.
First, head coach Bill Mosiello got his first win, along with the team’s first of the season. Second, they got their first road trip out of the way.
The Buckeyes are back on the road Thursday evening, as they travel to Phoenix, Arizona, for two games each against Grand Canyon University and Gonzaga, alternating opponents each day.
