The Ohio State men's volleyball team (26-6) won its first National Championship, defeating California-Santa Barbara (18-15), 3-2.

OSU dropped the first set, 25-20, while committing nine service errors, but rebounded with a 25-20 win in the second and a 25-19 win in the third.

The Buckeyes could not finish in the next set, however, and UCSB pushed it to a fifth set with a 25-22 win.

After a back-and-forth final set, OSU went up, 11-9, and never looked back.

Sophomore Derek Kues came in and served the final four points, and redshirt senior Steven Kehoe finished the game with a block.

Junior Shawn Sangrey led the Buckeyes with 30 kills, his season high, while Kehoe added a team-high 65 assists.

It was. I caught the game in the 3rd set, OSU up 2-1. But UCSB came back strong in the 4th set, winning it and forcing the 5th. I was really great to see the Bucks win strong in the last set. As the article states, "no looking back."

What a great group of guys. The seniors are going home with a win, and the coach has his first title in 26 years. This is a good win for the Big Ten,
and for the Midwest.

I have been playing and following volleyball for many years and while OSU has been a powerhouse in the midwest, they have never really made it to the next level. It was great to see them knock off PSU after the record they have held against them. Caught the whole match. Amazing to see them beat the west coast teams to win the championship. Although I love the football team, it would be nice to see other national champions at OSU celebrated in a similar fashion.
