OSU is part of the East Central North American Region which includes over 50 universities from western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, eastern Ontario and Indiana.
Most schools enter two teams each.
It is for that reason that OSU's eighth place is misleading. This regional tournament was held simultaneously at the Unversity of Cincinnati and Case Western Reserve. OSU was part of the Cincinnati site. The Scarlet team placed first within that location's participants, which included Notre Dame, University of Cincinnati, University of Dayton, Wright State University and Ohio Northern. OSU's second entry, Gray, placed 17th out of the 101 teams and the members were Vinod Tipparaju, Dana Vantrease, and Ryan Schuerger.
