COLUMBUS, Ohio – After its opening round win in Winston-Salem Thursday, Ohio State remains in North Carolina to face No. 12-seed UNC Greensboro in the second round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament Sunday in Greensboro.

The Buckeyes advanced with a 3-0 win at Wake Forest behind goals from Anthony Samways, Xavier Green and Thomas Gilej and stellar efforts by the Buckeye defenders and goalkeeper Keagan McLaughlin.

• The Buckeyes opened the 2022 NCAA Tournament with a first round win at Wake Forest, 3-0. Ohio State’s last road win in NCAA competition was a 2-1 victory at No. 5 Notre Dame in 2004. The Buckeyes won a neutral-site matchup against UMass, 1-0, in the 2007 College Cup Semifinals.
• Ohio State is making its 11th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and the first since 2015. The Buckeyes advanced to the College Cup Final in 2007, falling 2-1 to No. 1-ranked Wake Forest. Ohio State is 8-10-3 all-time in NCAA tournament competition.
• The Buckeyes finished 7-0-2 at home during the 2022 regular season and then added a win in the 2022 Big Ten Tournament over MSU for an 8-0-2 record at JOMS this year.
