The remaining Ohio State men's tennis NCAA championships contenders dropped their quarterfinal matches in singles and doubles action Saturday at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Okla., to bring the 2008 Buckeye season to a close. 

For the second-consecutive season, at least one Buckeye advanced to the quarterfinals of the singles bracket. Junior Steven Moneke, who played his way to the quarterfinals last season, made it to the final eight again in 2008. As a sophomore, Justin Kronauge also played amongst the last eight Saturday, marking the first time in Ohio State history two Buckeyes advanced to the singles quarterfinals in the same national championship.

Kronauge paired with senior Drew Eberly in the doubles quarterfinals Saturday, the furthest any Ohio State doubles team has advanced in the NCAA championships.
