A Big Ten program on the rise vs. a storied Big Ten powerhouse team. This should be a good one. Ohio State came out to play this spring season. They are currently undefeated at 12-0 and technically first in the Big Ten. This is their best start in the Big Ten since 1991 and they have the most consecutive wins since 2013.
The Buckeyes have displayed an abundance of talent this season, often sweeping the Big Ten weekly honors. Emily Londot has made a phenomenal difference as a freshman she’s their leading scorer who has tallied double-digit kills every match. Mac Podraza has been outstanding at setter as well, and has more options than just Londot in Vanja Bukilic, Lauren Witte and Rylee Rader.
